Exactly what is inconsistent?  That mouse down does not clear the 
selected
part or that it doesn't set mark, or something else?  Note that it is 
only
when clicking on some selected text and dragging that the behaviour 
differs.
If clicking outside selected text, or not dragging, we can keep the old
behaviour.

Alternativly one can use mouse-2 down and drag for dragging text, but I
find this inconvinient and it doesn't follow the conventions of other
applications like GNOME.
