The problem is that you suggest to change handle-select-window which
is a general interactive function that has a "key" binding.  I'd like
to restrict the effect of the change only to auto-selection of windows
by the mouse, because I see no reason to make the effect more broad.

Sorry, I don't think I understand what you are trying to say here, nor
how it is relevant to the issue at hand.  Please clarify.
