That's a trick, because if you stop the event loop, then you don't get 
the mouse clicks...

However, perhaps you can take advantage of a similar feature (at least 
in wx) -- can you make the Frame Modal temporarily? My understanding of 
how model dialogs work is that they stop the main event loop, and then 
have their own event loop, for just that frame -- then you could catch 
the mouse event you want, and make it non-modal again.

What I don't know is if you can make a Frame model/non-model without 
hiding and showing it in the process...

I also don't know if other toolkits work similarly.
