I don't think connecting to button_release is sufficient to reliably
detect a mouse-click. You'd want to connect to "button_press" as well
and assure that the release comes from the same window as the last
press. This is the method GTK+ uses when emitting "clicked" signals.
Jarek probably asked for similar signals for middle and right mouse
button clicks.
