Note that 

  Mouse 2 R S Move

does work as expected.

Some functions that operate on a window are triggered by a button
release instead of a button press.  I have no idea why, but it
look like an intentional choice.  This makes a difference only for
the root window and very obscure uses, such as

  Mouse 1 1 n NoWindow iconify

This is like a drag-and-drop iconify action:  you press somewhere,
drag the pointer to the target window and 'drop' the action on it.
Weird.

I will change all ButtonRelease triggers to ButtonPress as in most
other commands and see how that works.  *If* BR triggering is
usefull at all, it should be some kind of generic modifier to all
commands requesting window selection.

Fixed.
