GNU emacs under X, Selection highlighted and Menus

I am running emacs 18.57, on Apollo SR 10.3 with the patches of L.
Zubkoff.

I am using it under full X-window.

I installed the patch from matthieu@warhol that allows emacs to
highlight the region selected through the mouse (the classical cut
and paste of X). It works.

I installed the package of L. Ritchie, MouseAndMenuEmacs to get menus
and mouse functions depending on the mode, for instance

middle-button in gnus subject window reads the article
shift-middle-button in gnus subject window marks the article as read
but
middle-button in dired window edits the file
shift-middle-button in dired window marks the file for deletion
and so on...  And it works.

BUT I cannot get both packages to act correctly together. I can
select with highlighting in one window but later the things get
corrupted if you change window. I can read an article in gnus but I
get an error after entering it.

Has anyone encountered the same problem ?
Is there a newer version of MouseAndMenuEmacs (the one I got is from
18.54) and where can I get it from ?
Is there a way to define menus depending on the mode if the standard
x-mouse.el and x-menu.el are used ?

Thanks for your help.
Philippe.
