It is definitely better to refer to what happens, rather than to a key
binding.

Here, you refer to `window' for mouse-2 and -3, but not for -1. You also
have both `:' and ` =', inconsistently.

If space is not a problem (which I would guess), then this is better:

 mouse-1: drag window, mouse-2: maximize window, mouse-3: delete window

If space is a problem, then use this:

 Window - mouse-1: resize, mouse-2: maximize, mouse-3: delete

or even the same without "Window -".
