Re: mode-line with Tramp

[Richard Stallman]

    This drew no response.  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.
