I loaded your .emacs file and then evaluated that line (as you had
commented it out in your .emacs file). The line seems to do what it is
supposed to do; i.e., bind the lifting of the right mouse button to the
function x-mouse-set-mark.
The function x-mouse-set-mark has the following description:
x-mouse-set-mark:
Select Emacs window mouse is on, and set mark at mouse position.
Display cursor at that position for a second
And that's exactly what it seems to do. Please provide an example of
the sort of thing you were trying to do with causes this to fail.
vanharen> Am I doing something wrong?
Not that I can see. Perhaps you are expecting a bug? :-)

You're right. My windowmanager overrides that binding, so I never saw
it. I will submit a change for the release notes to mention it.
