I think there should be a few more cases included for
mouse-1-click-follows-link:
completion-list-mode-map
Man-mode-map

They should have en entry for  [follow-link] bound to 'mouse-face.

I have set mouse-1-click-follows-link to nil in my .emacs for a while now .  I
found it harder to work out when I need to hold down mouse-1 that bit longer
to not follow a link, than to press mouse-2 when I did want to follow a link
(and this is with a two button mouse which emulates mouse-2).  I was
constantly going places that I didn't want to go and I find the old behaviour
a lot easier.  I realise that I'm less fluent in Emacs than a lot of people on
this list but I'm probably more fluent than the average Emacs user.

If I am the only one who had problems then lets leave it as it is, but if
there are many others who have also set mouse-1-click-follows-link to nil,
perhaps we could make this the default.

Web page designers often use underline only for mouse over if they do not like underlined text. It is sometimes awful on web pages and sometimes instructive enough. Maybe that could be an alternative here, since the buffers have a fixed structure and if the underline is seen once when mouse is over them the user probably would think that clicking mouse-1 will follow the link?

Yes, but I just thought that maybe this did not give enough information in a case like this.
