Yes, right. Didn't try it; of course, it just collected events until the whole
queue is filled with this sequence.

Yes, that's what I'm interrested about.

I can't check it out on X, but looxlike on Windows it also does not depend on
the double click interval settings for mouse.

I'm developing "initial scratches" for a GUI library in C++. I try to use Tk
as a basis for good ideas.

I try to find appropriate approach for multi-clicks. As various systems allow
a user to change the double-click interval, I consider using this value for
the time interval. Despite that the time interval of 500 ms is good for most
users and I hardly saw anyone changing it.
