ok, the reason it doesnt work is because fvwm doesn't execute Key
bindings when the mouse is clicked down. Is there a way to bind a
seperate action to a key press and key release? any Ideas?
thanks,

PS, here is stripped down mouse click program, if anyone is interested.
/* gcc -g -Wall -o click click.c -L /usr/X11R6/lib/ -lX11 -lXtst */
#include <string.h> /* strcmp() */
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/extensions/XTest.h>
int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
Display *dpy = XOpenDisplay( NULL );
if (argc == 1) {
XTestFakeButtonEvent( dpy, 1, True, CurrentTime );
XTestFakeButtonEvent( dpy, 1, False, CurrentTime );
} else if (argc == 2) {
if ( strcmp(argv[1], "up") )
XTestFakeButtonEvent( dpy, 1, True, CurrentTime );
if ( strcmp(argv[1], "down") )
XTestFakeButtonEvent( dpy, 1, False, CurrentTime );
}
XCloseDisplay( dpy );
return 0;
}
