But is START-EVENT the problem here?

The purpose of the patch is to allow dragging the secondary selection
with the mouse when the cursor crosses the tool bar on Lucid.  When,
during mouse tracking, we leave the initial window, we use an exit
strategy that samples the mouse position and scrolls the window
accordingly.  I'd first like to know whether it works for the secondary
selection.  If so, we should be able to fix 'mouse-drag-track' in a
similar way.

I'm afraid such binding won't help.  We just have to be able to enter
the part in 'mouse-drag-track' starting with

               (let ((mouse-row (cdr (cdr (mouse-position)))))

to be able to compare mouse-row with the top of the start window,
ignoring any binding.
