Ok, thank you.  If it's basically never possible to get X's proper
button release events, why does ncurses have BUTTON1_RELEASED,
BUTTON2_RELEASED, BUTTON3_RELEASED events?

it's been quite a while, I suppose the reason was that it was there in case there was a mouse protocol that could support it.
