mouse-autoselect-window and menu bar

[Klaus Zeitler]

Symptoms:

1. in *scratch* buffer eval (setq mouse-autoselect-window t)
2. divide emacs in 2 windows (C-x 2)
3. in lower window: M-x info

now when I try to move the mouse pointer to the menu-bar (through the upper
window), the menu-bar changes (according to the mode of the upper window's
buffer). This makes it a real pain to access e.g. the Info menu.
