Subject: Incorrect help for mouse click

Go into a dired buffer.  Hover the mouse pointer over a file or
directory name.  The popup tooltip says "mouse-1: visit this file in
another window".  But doing `C-h k' and then clicking with mouse-1
displays *Help* for <down-mouse-1> (mouse-drag-region).  I don't know
if this is "technically" correct, but in any case, it is very
confusing.  I am using a one-button mouse on Mac OS X.

If emacs crashed, and you have the emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

It is not incorrect, since there is both a `down-mouse-1' binding and
a `mouse-1' binding (actually, `mouse-2' translated to `mouse-1' by
the mouse-1-click-follows-link mechanism.)  Maybe the solution is for
C-h k to also display the mouse-X binding when it detects a
down-mouse-X event.

On further investigation, I found out there was code to handle this
situation in describe-key, which wasn't being activated because of a
bug.  It should work fine now.
