Well, I don't really know anything about curses/gpm interaction, but I 
do know that a) gpm depends on (n)curses, and b) "elinks" text-mode 
browser works with gpm...the gpm part appears to be in 
src/osdep/os_dep.c in the tgz.  It doesn't seem too hard. (Famous last 
words)  Perhaps it would be useful as a basis?  Unfortunately, gpm and 
libgpm seem to have little if any documentation on using the library.
