ok, this is really weird behaviour. I just need to press M-x /once/ and
then forever more I can focus on the minibuffer with the mouse. What is the
meaning of this keypress ? It acts like "permanently unlock the minibuffer".
I suppose I should go back to the code because I really don't understand why
things work like this (and it is a thoroughly confusing change for the naive
user).
