Oh, well. The mouse event is directed to the groupbox (the frame 
holding other widgets inside it). The bad thing is that the 
groupbox is rather simplistic widget and it doesn't know anything 
about the widgets that are displayed inside it :( IMO, the real 
solution to this problem should involve teaching the groupbox that 
it holds other widgets (i.e. making it a real container widget). A 
simplistic solution would be to skip groupboxes when dispatching 
mouse events.

Under Options/Configuration and Options/Layout, checkbox or 
radiobutton options that precede the currently focused widget are 
not clickable with mouse, these mouse clicks are simply ignored.

Example: open the Options/Configuration dialog, click on the 
checkbox of the last option ("safe deLete"), then click on any 
other option with your mouse, this second click will have no 
effect. You have to use the keyboard or close this dialog and open 
again to change these options.

Tested with 4.6.1 and with 2007-01-04-16 snapshot, both on Linux 
console (gpm) and in gnome-terminal.
