Actually, I have noticed a problem with using mouse-3 on mode-line. Suppose

you push mouse-3 on mode-line, the window is removed without giving me the

possibility to net remove it should I change my mind.

Why is that a problem? Removing a window doesn't lose any important

information, and you can easily restore it with "C-x 4 b" or somesuch.

If would be neater to activate only when the mouse-3 button release occurs on the mode-line

or window.  If one moves the mouse pointer outside the window or outside emacs, then releasing

the pressed mouse-3 button, would have no effect.  This would be consistent with how menus work.
