With this patch header-line buttons in the buffer list buffer certainly
respond to Mouse-1 but unfortunately they do this even when
mouse-1-click-follows-link is nil.  This i because you have added the line

 > !                    (define-key map [header-line mouse-1] fun)

I don't think

 > !                    (define-key map [follow-link] 'mouse-face)

does anything in this case possibly because map here is a text property and
not associated with a mode.

It would be best to omit the line

 > !                    (define-key map [header-line down-mouse-1] 'ignore)

because then the header line can then respond to mouse-1 clicks and still be
dragged (try it on the mode-line to see what I mean).

I don't see the point of this as you can't place point on the header line.

In summary, I don't see how to solve the problem (neither did the original
author presumably), all I can do is pull your solution apart.

Sorry,

Nick
