For the GTK HID, the mouse section is ignored. I never quite figured
out how to implement it and I have been substantially overextended
lately. Also the popup menus in the GTK HID are partially implemented.
Popup1 is defined in gpcb-menu.res and a call to it is hard coded in
src/hid/gtk/gui-output-events.c. The goal which hasn't been reached yet
is that there would be a Popup() action that would take a popup menu
name as an argument. Then once the mouse stuff was moved out of
hard-coded land into gpcb-menu.res controlled land, we'd have the
ability to connect up the right click popup that currently exists.
For the lesstif HID, I probably shouldn't comment too much as I'm not
quite sure. However I do believe that the mouse section of pcb-menu.res
is used there.
As for the exact meaning of that line in pcb-menu.res, I'll have to let
someone else answer.
