Does the below help?

  (global-set-key [mode-line mouse-1] 'ignore)
  (global-set-key [mode-line mouse-2] 'ignore)
  (global-set-key [mode-line mouse-3] 'ignore)

You will still have problems with parts of the mode line that define
their own bindings, though.  If you want to disable those as well, you
will have to redefine mode-line-format without the mouse bindings.

Thanks for pointing out the way, it works mostly, but click on the buffer  
name/infos on the modeline still has effects, maybe I have to redefine the  
modeline for it, though I don't know elisp at all, an example will be  
appreciated :)

The default definition of mode-line-format is in bindings.el, so I
think you will find there all the examples you need.
