Actually I reported two different problems with msb.el.  One problem is
what you just fixed (an old bug that caused an error with no toolkit).
The second problem is that I can't use <C-down-mouse-1> to open a menu
like I can do for the standard plain buffer menu without loading msb.el.
The change from <C-down-mouse-1> to <C-mouse-1> is caused by your patch:

2006-05-02  Chong Yidong  <address@hidden>

        * msb.el (msb): If EVENT is a down event, read and discard the up event.

After reverting it, I can click <C-down-mouse-1> to open a msb buffer menu
without releasing the mouse button.
