	(I can't resist!)  You forgot olwm.  (Although most people don't
use the feature.)  If you left click on a menu, you get the default
behavior...  If you right click, you get the menu.  Right clicking also
selects the menu at the point where the default is.   Of course, most
people turn that off since left clicking seems "more intuitive" and thus
you get a little messed up if you don't want the default.

 If you love something, write it in C; if it compiles, it is yours; 
                     if it doesn't, it never was.
