I know that.  I was talking about interpretation of what Richard said,
and your reaction to it.

I'm confused: what are you saying here about how the problem at hand
should be fixed?

>From my perspective, mouse-2 in menus now performs on Windows as it
does in other Windows GUI programs and as it works with some toolkits
on X.  mouse-2 on a button in Customize, which drops the value menu
does _not_ behave as on X.

Given these facts and the fact that mouse-2 behavior on Windows in
both these types of menu msut be the same, what would you want that
uniform behavior to be?
