Is this really true? I can hardly believe it. I can see
differentiating between, say:

  AddToFunc Circ
  + "I" something

vs.

  AddToFunc Circ
  + "C" something

where the clicktime is needed if you want to know if you had a
double-click or not (although maybe you really only need to wait if both
a "C" _and_ a "D" are given?)... but differentiating between:

  AddToFunc Circ [...anything...]

vs.

  AddToFunc Circ
  + [...anything...]

_has_ to be a bug... doesn't it? Isn't this just merely a parsing
issue, and the difference is completely resolved during the fvwm2rc file
parsing at startup?
