I'd rather not introduce another variable here. I don't object to allowing mouse-save-then-kill obey mouse-drag-copy-region (the emphasis being on the "mouse" rather than the "drag"), provided the doc of mouse-drag-copy-region is updated accordingly. Any user who insists on changing mouse-drag-copy-region back to t can deal with the inconsistency.
