Yes. > Or are you also getting output when you move the cursor around? No. I think we want to suppress such output on systems (such as yours) that do give additional output when the cursor is moved around without pressing or releasing a mouse button or key. N.B. On my system xev does report every mouse move, but it distinguishes that from key/mouse button presses and releases. Is that the case on your system? If so, then it seems to me copying the xev code that generates symbolic names for all keys/mouse buttons when they are released (and simply dropping everything else that is not a key or button release event) is the way to get a uniform response to key/button releases (but no other keyboard/mouse events) from X (and xcairo and qtwidget that eventually boil down to an X call) on all systems. It just struck me that a useful exception to the above would be to return a distinguishable id for mouse button press and release events. That would allow, e.g., mouse drag-and-drop for all apps that use interactive PLplot devices. But if you are following the xev code in any case, distinguishing those two mouse event cases is not much additional implementation work. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
