It always did when I tested this.  But this has been throughly tested
only on Unix and Windows, never on GNU/Linux.  Could you try removing
the outer `condition-case' of `mouse-autoselect-window-select', I
suppose it triggers some error before getting there.

If it's on a different frame it should be avoided by the code I sent
you.  Something must be bypassing it ...
