In your example below (deleted), there isn't because buffer names are
really long and/or your frame is too narrow.  You could have set the
truncation width larger too, at the expense of not being able to see
the size, mode, etc, fields.  For me, I usually want to see the buffer
name and the file associated with it.  I didn't know what to do about
this problem.

I think this is a pretty good solution.  However, I avoid the mouse as
much as possible, so it's not likely that I'll do it even if I knew
how.  Sorry :-)
