Someone was asking previously, "what's wrong with existing handlers like
Sunmouse etc?" This is the answer...they do a mouse click. I stopped
using the other ones because of this behavior; it doesn't always work
right. Consider Dpaint, for instance. A mouse click on the screen causes
a mark to be made on your painting! Bleah.

That's why I like the idea of dmouse; I'd been looking for one that
did it "right".
