I too have made some functions for buffer-menu-mode.  Mine are not
elegant or complicated either, but they offer a couple of other
options.

The commands and key settings are as follows:
(local-set-key '(shift button1) 'mouse-select-buffer-1-window)
(local-set-key '(shift button2) 'mouse-select-buffer-this-window)
(local-set-key '(shift button3) 'mouse-select-buffer-other-window) )))
(local-set-key '(button2) 'mouse-select-buffer-this-window)
(local-set-key '(button3) 'mouse-select-buffer-other-window)
(define-key global-map "\C-c\C-b" 'list-buffers-1-window)

I don't use multiple screens, so I don't have something for that, as
Mike does.

Since I often have a lot of buffers, I have added a command to put the
buffer list in one window, the last command above.

I have also altered list-buffers, as commented in the code below, so
that an argument of 2 will list only modified file buffers (handy in
the middle of various tags operations) and an argument of 3 will list
only dired mode buffers.  An argument of anything else, as previously,
will list all file buffers only.

In case you are wondering why the macro is written without backquotes,
etc., it was for practice.  I remember finding a bug in the backquote
package a year or more ago with Emacs 18.58 and was thinking about
repairs.  Then I got to use a Lisp machine again and now I've
forgotten what the bug was.  Does anyone know of anything wrong with
backquotes or anything that has been fixed since that Emacs?
