I think we have different versions of modular.

I don't think everyone should have to audit thier source code, it is
just how I found out about the key events being grabbed.

You are right, it is the mouse that interacts with the menus.
Talking to one of my coworkers just sorta surprised me. I found out
that the alt+click behavior is actually coming through as a modified
mouse event, not a key event. The only place it looks for key events is
on toolbar stuff. Wow, my bad.
Still I know a lot of people ask for a key driven menu system, I imagine
it would easier to integrate the key stuff to do this. Also you won't
have X acting as a middleman when bbkeys and blackbox communicate.
I guess i just expect a window manager to handle key events, since it
already handles the other source of input (mouse). I realize not
everyone likes that though.
