If you take the VDI mouse handler, *after the auto folder*, then you've
got it.  The AES gets clicks from the VDI mouse handling chain, you may feed
clicks to the AES or not, as you choose.  You have to be careful _when_
you take and give mouse clicks (or mouse movemement) because the AES has
several state variables that you can't get at, and it may be in the middle
of giving someone a double click, or it may restore an internally saved 
mouse position when you don't expect it.
