I tend to feel that mouse-3 should pop up a menu.

I'm not sure what "toggle at point" means, but using mouse-2 to toggle
a breakpoint doesn't seem intuitive to me.

How about putting it on C-mouse-1?  Because:

1) It's related to setting/clearing a breakpoint (on mouse-1).
2) The poor souls mentioned below can still use it.

I think frequency of use is a more compelling reason to put it on mouse-3.
There's another command (not documented), gdb-mouse-jump, which allows you
to jump *backwards* so that you can go over the same code again
(to be used with caution).  This is currently on C-mouse-2, and I would
move that to C-mouse-3.
