In the ServerFlags section:

AllowMouseOpenFail
               This allows the server to start up even if the
               mouse device can't be opened/initialised.

By the way, I have had the same questions about making mouse hits and
drag'n'drop stuff. I'd like to be able to do mouseless things too, and my
terminal setup _does not_ by default turn <return> into a mouse hit. I'm
sure it's in the docs, but I apparently haven't adequately RTFM as yet.
