I agree with Marvin Soloman's concerns about collisions between uwm's
use of mouse commands and various applications use of same.  But it's
more than just that.  The general problem is that there just aren't
enough different mouse commands, so of course there will be collisions.

Now I can understand why multi-click type commands are not implemented
(the timings would have to be interpreted in the server, complicating
the protocol).  But what about chords?  Last time I played with uwm,
it couldn't handle chord-style commands.  I don't see any fundamental
reason why not -- it's just a matter of programming, isn't it?
