In tmux there are options for mouse such as:
* resizing panes using mouse
* selecting panes using mouse
* selecting window using mouse
* scrolling with mouse (mode-mouse)
It should be possible to set this in byobu as well.

Improve terminal multiplexers in desktop

Not an idea

Terminal multiplexers (screen, tmux, byobu) are a nice boost for command line users especially people working over ssh. They are mostly designed to be working even without Xorg running (not sure about byobu -- I have problems with splitting and function keys without Xorg). The problem is that they are not always intuitive when working in a terminal emulator. Even things like copy-paste requires some knowledge about clipboards which is bad for the inexperienced.
I think byobu is going in the right direction and is the best candidate for this purpose. Things that can be improved include:
* mouse support (even tmux has it, not sure about screen)
* copy paste with mouse when using vertical splits
* clipboard integration (imagine Ctrl+Shift+c working with panes)
* gnome-terminal tab integration with byobu tabs
* automatic attaching-detaching on close
A similar project is going on to integrate iterm2 with tmux on OSX. I believe as linux users, we deserve to be spoiled with the best command line tools available.

better use of gnome-terminal tabs with byobu

Using byobu in a gnome-terminal, users are given a choice for creating a new tab from gnome-terminal or creating a new window from byobu. These two methods usually serves the same purpose (unless working with an ssh) and could be merged to avoid confusion.
