No -- you need to create a separate init_gpmevent() function.
I'll work on changing the C code to be more of a toggle-gpm-mode, and write
a gpm.el to go along with this, and it can take care of starting up gpm
automatically, etc. It should also add hooks to suspend/resume emacs to
let the main gpm program handle things.
