I frequently split my windows,  I usually kill the buffer using the

menu bar.  But this leaves me with the window open with some other

buffer.  Would like to request some facility to delete a window

(delete-window) using the mouse, as I frequently do for

`kill-buffer'.  Perhaps the capability could be inserted in the window

mode-line.  Where  one can usually turn off a minor-mode with the

mouse.

I think mouse-3 (i.e., Right Click) on the mode-line does what you want?

However, this does not kill the buffer that shown in the window though

but should be easy enough to change (search for "mouse-delete-window" in

mouse.el).

Was not aware of mouse-3 on mode-line.  Just need to rewove the window,

without necessarily killing the buffer.

Actually, I have noticed a problem with using mouse-3 on mode-line.  Suppose

you push mouse-3 on mode-line, the window is removed without giving me the

possibility to net remove it should I change my mind. 

It is different behaviour than for instance the mode-line options for minor-mode,

where you can decide not to take any action.
