I should point out that I use Firefox, which responds to
neither <1> nor <2> unless Active.

In this case, we will have to mock up extra docs and/or helper
code that allows users to become "compliant" with standard OS X
behavior.  Otherwise we reenable all this and all of a sudden
all Tk apps are reacting to any click, any time, unlike the
majority of current OS X apps.
