Interesting - admittedly I don't use an X desktop. I just scanned mutt's source code for mouse, click, and button events. Maybe these events translate into something else at a lower layer of the window system? In any case I don't think mutt is specifically responding to the mouse; it's responding to a signal that a mouse generate for some unclear reason, but that could be generated in another way. -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
