Hi John,

Thanks for your prompt reply, but I am not sure that you answered the 
question that I meant to ask.

There were extra conditions: GTK, right-mouse (and GtkGLArea). Reading 
between the lines of your reply, it seems that it doesn't matter if the 
application is a GTK application (is that right/what you think?)

I did google search before I posted, I read this (for example)

https://www.imore.com/how-activate-right-click-functionality-mac

but I couldn't get it to work. Which is why I asked here.

Regards,

Paul.
