It would work if it had a continuous stream of events.  xterm normally 
doesn't provide that.  I added (for XFree86 xterm), the terminfo entries 
xterm-1002 and xterm-1003 which can set it in that mode (just tested that 
using the ncurses test program's menu-a).

Presumably one could modify the GPM support to do this, etc., but no one's
implemented any code to handle that.
