The first part of this is done (keyboard can control menu, no shortcuts
yet). I will commit it in a moment. Changes are:

2002-04-19  Pavel Janík  <address@hidden>

        * xterm.c (note_mode_line_or_margin_highlight): Remove unused
        variables `row', `i' and `area'.
        (XTread_socket) <KeyPress>: Pass KeyPress events when in menu to
        toolkit library.

2002-04-19  Pavel Janík  <address@hidden>

        These changes allow moving in menu via keyboard.
        
        * xlwmenu.c (xlwMenuTranslations, xlwMenuActionsList): Add
        translations for cursor keys and RET.
        (find_next_selectable, find_prev_selectable): New functions used
        for finding menu-items.
        (Down, Up, Left, Right): New functions.


I'd be glad to receive feedback from you (I already received some notes
from Gerd). There are also two or three FIXMEs in the code. If you can tell
me what do you think about them or (better ;-) fix that in the code, I am
happy.
