Wasn't it Shane who wrote:

That doesn't work because the API doesn't issue "mousedown" events for
the map itself, only for some types of overlay.
>GEvent.addDomListener( map.getContainer(), "mousedown", function()

That doesn't work because the API eats the event above the map
container, so that it can do map drags. The event doesn't get all the
way down to the map container.
In fact the "mousedown" event only gets down as far as the
map.getDragObject() layer. So you can catch it there, but only if
there's no "mousedown"able overlay at that location. Unlike "click"s,
the API doesn't propagate "mousedown" events. Once the "mousedown" hits
something that's listening for that event it gets eaten.
GEvent.addDomListener( map.getDragObject(), "mousedown", function() {
alert('This Works');
});
GEvent.addListener( map.getDragObject(), "mousedown", function() {
alert('And so does this');
});
