We could cook up a pause handler pretty easily. This would let you develop controls that respond to mouse pauses. The reason to use a handler for this is so that it can be used in multiple controls - or can be used to set the behavior of a control that might respond to clicks by default. For example, an Information control (requests GetFeatureInfo by default) might use a click handler by default (responding to single or double-clicks) - giving this control a pause handler instead of a click handler would change it's behavior to respond to mouse pauses instead of mouse clicks. No code floating around yet for this, but it shouldn't be hard to write. A ticket would be the first step. Then a patch.
