I don't believe gnome-terminal uses xtermrc.

I don't believe you can.

That's what it does in the default configuration.

I don't believe you can.  You can turn it off if it bothers you.

That's what it does in the default configuration.

The wheel is probably too sensitive.  If it sends scroll up or scroll 
down, you won't get a mouse-button-down event.

No.  There's currently no direct way to do that.  The easiest way is 
probably to enable RDP on your Windows guest and use rdesktop to access 
it rather than the VNC console provided by kvm.
