I think this is already covered: "the Client should set it to useful va=
lues=20
the window manager can use to position the menu". This could be extende=
d to=20
say that it should also be used for the case that a button was clicked.=
 If the=20

complete rect. Do you think that would be sufficient?

Right, I didn't think of double click. Hmm I'm wondering how we could i=

a double click given that we already use all five data elements. The on=

I have is using a bit mask to indicate that a double click was used. Bu=

don't like that ;-) Any better ideas?
