Are you saying that one can't set mark, move the point with the mouse

totally unacceptable, it makes mouse-set-point almost unusable.
Well, agreed:
Or not...
It "only" causes a problem with mixed keyboard/mouse-1 i.e.
(d) hit keyboard C-SPC to set mark and then use mouse-1-click
(mouse-set-point) with the expectation of defining an active region.
Uh. Did (d) work before? It probably did, I just don't have an
unmutilated emacs to hand to check.
No, it didn't work that way without the patch: when you
mouse-set-point (mouse-1-click) in CVS emacs, the region deactivates
anyway, which _is_ normal behaviour in X11 applications come to think
of it (mouse-1-drag highlight some text in firefox, mouse-1-click
somewhere else...).
