I'm not sure I would be happy relying on that, or in general that such
events will be seen in the queue, but there's AFAIU a larger problem
with this method: it requires users to add a lot of events to the list
of events "disabled" via this method.  It is also not very
future-proof, I think.  E.g., what about drag-N, drag-n-drop, etc.?
My understanding was that the OP wanted a way of disabling mouse
events without the need to go though all the possible symbols Emacs
uses for them.
