I am running Emacs 18.50 under X Windows version 11, revision 2 on a Sun 386i.
I want to modify the meanings of the mouse clicks as defined in x-mouse.el.
To do that, I included the following lines in my .emacs file.  In fact, my
.emacs file contains nothing else.

   (define-key mouse-map x-button-left 'x-mouse-set-point)
   (define-key mouse-map x-button-middle 'x-mouse-set-mark)

However, when initializing emacs I get a message indicating an error in the
init file.  If I then explicitly load the .emacs file or evaluate it in a
buffer, it doesn't complain and the button clicks change as desired.

What's going on here?  Something in the environment must be changing after
.emacs is loaded.  I thought .emacs was the last thing loaded.

Does anyone know what is happening here?
