What this patch does is that it makes the dialog pop down for a click  
in an Emacs window for Lesstif/Motif and Lucid only.  We discussed  
this before, this is not the way a dialog shall behave (as seen in  
other GUI programs), and the code was explicitly changed to not pop  
down dialogs on click outside the dialog around december 2004.

However, it *is* the way a menu shall behave.  Menus are used instead  
of dialogs when compiling on X11 without a toolkit, and on Mac (and  
perhaps W32, I am not sure).  So on those ports, the dialog (really  
menu) shall pop down on a click outside the menu.  And for X11 it  
already does that, and now it does that for Mac also.  I suggest  
reverting this patch.
