Hi,

Yep, looks like it - imagine years from now you'll be able to claim that ;)

Yes, I didn't want the mouse press event to be propagated to the
programs over which the mouse was clicked. It could lead to all types of
confusion if wayV and another program were simultaneously trying to
use the mouse.

Oh, no - this I must fix ;)

I don't know.

It shouldn't be - it'll be a matter of rewriting the parser slightly and
*fingers crossed* setting up a better mask on the XGrabButton.

Also I've decided to defreeze (/me pulls pulls out a blow torch and gets
to work) wayV 0.0.9. I'm going to add in the multiple button activation 
before 0.1 - too many people are saying they'd use it if that was possible.

Hopefully I'll get that implemented this evening - ahh now isn't that
great to see such a responsive free software project :)

bye bye,
