I have a similar problem.  I want to quit isearch when I click the
mouse anywhere but quitting isearch also quits the command the mouse
was executing so I have to click again.  I have wrapped the
abort-isearch in an unwind-protect:

(unwind-protect (abort-isearch) ...)

but that doesn't seem to work, ie. the isearch aborts but the ...
doesn't get executed.  Is this a bug?

PS. Has anyone else noticed/fixed epoch crashing in the layout_*()
routines in xdispepoch.c?  It seems my previous little patch was not
enough.
