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. I think it is not worth the trouble to implement it. If we have some specific reason to think this will help a lot of beginners, then let's do it. Otherwise, let's forget it.
