I disagree. One of the nice things about Emacs, IMO, is consistency

I can always select text for copying by holding down the left mouse
Making mouse-1 the "active" button in Info would be taking

may confuse the naive user that mouse-2 is the button that jumps to
Just some more datapoints. 95% of mice on ms-windows systems I have used in
the last 3-4 years do not have mouse 2. So my overriding concern is that it
is just too damn inconvenient to hit two mouse buttons simultanously for
common operations. Consistency does not concern me, I want XEmacs to be
useable and intuitive, certainly in ms-windows environments that means
mouse-1 for view type activities. We do it already for glyphs and other
things.
I can concede that you might not want to do this under UNIX - but our
delete key discussions have encompassed UNIX as well even though the
presence of delete is more normal under PC systems.
