   ...that's exactly what I asked in this and some others newsgroups some weeks
   ago, but got no anwer yet...
      The problem occurs after the meta-char (<ESC>), as the mouse click sends
   the sequence of C-x @; after <ESC> it results in M-C-x @, but M-C-x is bound
   to "eval-defun", writing the current coordinates to the buffer. I have tried
   al possibilities I could imagine to unbound the M-C-x, but didn't succeed...

I have the same binding and I don't have any probelms with it.  The
only thing I can suggest is to step back and look at the obvious
again:

From ..etc/SUN-SUPPORT:

    The interface between GNU Emacs and Sun windows consists of the program
    etc/emacstool, the Lisp programs lisp/sun-*.el and lisp/term/sun.el,
    and the C source file src/sunfns.c.  It is documented with a man page,
    etc/emacstool.1.

    To enable use of these files and programs, define the configuration
    switch HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS in src/config.h before compiling Emacs.
    The definition of HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS must precede the #include m-sun3.h
    or #include m-sun4.h.
    If you must change PURESIZE, do so after the #include m-sun3.h

You should not have to rebind M-C-x.  Mine is fine as is.  I am
running SunOs 4.xx on a 3/60.  Also on a sparc it works fine.

good luck, jv
