Hi Doug,

Yep, right place to ask FVWM questions. A meaningful subject
line would be appreciated in future though.

Correct.

The only caveat is window-specific bindings which will be available in
2.5.12 (when it comes out). Not as issue for you here though.

It is never passed on. It is always intercepted/interpreted by FVWM.

FVWM will intercept the *ButtonPress* event. The *ButtonRelease* event
will still go through to the application in the underlying window. Could
this be causing your problem?

Yup. Binding to release events is a whole other can of worms.
Suffice to say it is currently impossible in FVWM.

SCoTT. :)
