mouse-1 not going to URL

[Robert J. Chassell]

Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Sun, 2005 Oct 23  12:42 UTC
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.6.10)
built by evaluating

     (progn
       (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/")
       (compile
        "date && ./configure --with-type1 \
         --with-x-toolkit=gtk \
         --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \
         && time make bootstrap && date")
        (ding) (sleep-for 1) (ding))

and started with

    emacs -Q

(bootstrap build and start with no errors)


Although moving the mouse over a URL produces this message as a
tooltip, 

    mouse-1: go to this URL

in fact, mouse-1 does not go to the URL, but moves point to the URL and
C-h f (`describe-function') says


    <down-mouse-1> at that spot runs the command mouse-drag-region

    -------------- up event ---------------

    <drag-mouse-1> at that spot runs the command mouse-set-region


Here is the URL in GNU Emacs Info mode:

    (As I point out in
    `http://www.rattlesnake.com/notions/energy-alternate-essence.html',
    these sources use the traditional `elements' of Fire, Air, Earth, and
    Water. 

Here is the Texinfo source:

    @url{http://www.rattlesnake.com/notions/energy-alternate-essence.html},
    these sources use the traditional `elements' of Fire, Air, Earth, and
