Re: Button-release event

I'm pretty sure it should act the same on win32 and X in this regard.
Would be a nightmare to write code if not.  I remember we did some
possibly related mucking with the event code in our patches in win32gtk
1.x but don't know if that made it into 2.x.  We're moving to gtk2 so will
surely run into this also.
