;; Also "active_frame", though I suspect I could already
;;   hack that in Lisp if I could make any sense of the
;;   complete mess of frame/frame code in XEmacs.
;; Vminibuf_prompt could easily be made Lisp-bindable.

;;  and that there could be need for read-minibuffer-internal to
;;  save and restore them.

;;  to the start of the minibuffer line as it returns.  This is

;;  providing some Lisp-level mechanism (extension to cursor-in-echo-area ?)

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;; ("Kludgy minibuffer hackery" is perhaps a better name)

;; This works by setting `mouse-grabbed-buffer' to the minibuffer,
;; defining button2 in the minibuffer keymap to
;; `minibuffer-smart-select-highlighted-completion', and setting the
;; mode-motion-hook of the minibuffer to `minibuffer-mouse-tracker'.
;; By setting `mouse-grabbed-buffer', the minibuffer's keymap and
;; mode-motion-hook apply (for mouse motion and presses) no matter
;; what buffer the mouse is over.  Then, `minibuffer-mouse-tracker'
;; examines the text under the mouse looking for something that looks
;; like a completion, and causes it to be highlighted, and
;; `minibuffer-smart-select-highlighted-completion' looks for a
;; flagged completion under the mouse and inserts it.  This has the
;; following advantages:
;;
;; -- filenames and such in any buffer can be inserted by clicking,
;;    not just completions
;;
;; but the following disadvantages:
;;
;; -- unless you're aware of the "filename in any buffer" feature,
;;    the fact that strings in arbitrary buffers get highlighted appears
;;    as a bug
;; -- mouse motion can cause ange-ftp actions -- bad bad bad.
;;
;; There's some hackery in minibuffer-mouse-tracker to try to avoid the
;; ange-ftp stuff, but it doesn't work.
;;
