I am trying to use virtual buttons 4 and 5 under mwm.
(supposedly, button "4" is buttons 1 and 2 pressed together and
button "5" is buttons 2 and 3 pressed together)

I do have a line

    <Btn4Down>	window		f.menu	RootMenu

in the Buttons section of my .mwmrc, but pressing buttons 1 and 2 together
does not invoke RootMenu.

I see that the problem might be that when one mouse button is held down,
the other mouse buttons will generate ButtonRelease events but not
ButtonPress events!  Is this a bug?  Note that I am using an X-terminal
with an R3 based server; everything else is R4.  If it is a bug, has
it been fixed in the R4 server?

Is there any other way to do what I want to do?

Thanks,
