The solution is to use RMBTRAP.  This will allow you to get messages for
the right mouse button as well as the left.  The thing to be careful for
is to remove the RMBTRAP when the mouse moves onto the menu bar.  This allows
the menus to be obtained when the mouse is on the menu bar.  This trick is
used in DPAINT and Egad, to name a few.  Normally, you never see anything from
the right mouse button, as Intuition eats it.
One other possibilty is to only enable RMBTRAP when the mouse is over one of
these items.
