Well, not for me. I'm still convinced that the only way to operate
menus is thru the keyboard.

If you look at the way X reports mouse events, you will see that this
is not an fvwm2 issue. Fvwm2 will always see the the button presses
as separate events.

I believe that some of the X servers have a way of reporting multiple
button pushes as button 4, and button 5, in which case Fvwm2 would be
able to accept more button bindings.
