Details

If following conditions are met:
1) gpm is installed (pretty common as required by vim);
2) gpm service is not running (a few users know about it and enable it)
3) there is running process with 'gpm' sequence in process name, e.g. 'gpmaster.sh'

Then logging in into tty console produces error message
"disable-paste: cannot open mouse connection"

The reason is inaccurate check for running gpm service in /etc/profile.d/gpm.sh. I propose solution: replace
`[ -n "$(pgrep gpm)" ]`
with
`pidof -s gpm >/dev/null`

Additional info:
* gpm 1.20.7-5
* proposed fix is attached as a patch
   gpm_profiled.patch (0.6 KiB)
This task depends upon
