bug#6626: 24.0.50; '(mouse-sel-mode t) customisation

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

This customisation is invalid, I know, but I had it in root's init  
file. This lead to errors like:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No symbol corresponding to  
PRIMARY selection")
  signal(error ("No symbol corresponding to PRIMARY selection"))
  error("No symbol corresponding to %s selection" PRIMARY)
  mouse-sel-selection-thing(PRIMARY)
  mouse-select-internal(PRIMARY (down-mouse-1 (#<window 7 on site- 
start.el> 90 (1 . 67) 57704767 nil 90 (0 . 4) nil (1 . 6) (6 . 11))))
  mouse-select((down-mouse-1 (#<window 7 on site-start.el> 90 (1 .  
67) 57704767 nil 90 (0 . 4) nil (1 . 6) (6 . 11))))
  call-interactively(mouse-select nil nil)

Having an init file with just the one setting as in the subject  
produced:

	mouse-sel-selection-overlay: No overlay corresponding to PRIMARY  
selection

when picking into the window, trying to position the cursor, or trying  
to select a word by double-clicking or dragging the mouse.
