Shouldn't it be nicer if the way the mouse behaves could be configured
using the GtkStyle stuff? This makes it easier for other people to
immitate their favorite GUI. For example: you want to use the third
button + mouse movement for scrolling, but some NT user might wanna use
the second mouse button + mouse movement for scrolling... Or maybe
someone just want's GTK to act like those 'primitive' X-apps (like
xterm).

But that thing you wanna do with pulldown and pop-up menu's is very
interesting... One vote for you!

Anyway... GTK should be kept as configurable as possible.
