... and this raises a harder question... I just found out that "gnome"
grabs alt-left-clicks, which I had always thought a polite window manager
should pass to the application.  But the "data structure" editor also
uses alt-clicks, in a much more essential way than the number box does
(alt clicking a number box acts like a "mute", and toggles between zero
and the last nonzero value.)

I don't know of a good way to prevent window managers from taking over various
clicks... is there any standard way that applications and window managers
can negotiate this?  Or any standard notion of which mouse actions should
belong to an application?

thanks to anyone who can shed light on this one...
Miller
