Can I use a XSelectInput on the Root Window? I don't need to
intercept the buttonpress events on other windows or the titlebar, I
only need to know when they happen. I made a file menu for a window
and need to close the file menu when a button is released on the
titlebar or a different window (although then, I can use the focusout
event). I wish button click on the titlebar could be recognized.
The menu windows are "override_redirect" windows.
You can use XSelectInput in any window. What most programs do, and which I hate, with menus is to grab the mouse while the menu is open. This gets particularly irritating with programs that have the bad habit of freezing with a menu opened.
