This drew no response. The patch assigned mouse-1 over the mode-line flag for
default-directory to "cd", i.e., to change default-directory. Assuming it was
unfavourable because it mixed the mouse and keyboard, how about extending
use-file-dialog, which applies to commands from menus and tool bar buttons, to
commands from the mode-line also? That way default-directory could be changed
with the mouse alone.
