Yes, I do have to do both, because I will have to tell Emacs to use,
say, the left Windows key as super, and then learn to use that when I
need the menu which currently pops up by S-mouse-1.

The current binding of S-mouse-1 was not taken out of thin air, it was
modeled on other applications as well, AFAIR.

I don't use CUA, so my opinions about modifying its bindings don't
matter.  We should ask CUA users if they care.

But I don't think we should change the default behavior of S-mouse-1.
