  Just to pick a _very_ small nit here: I don't know about "MouseProtect", but
I can say for sure that "MacMenu" is not a "renamed" version of Mousetrap.
Mousetrap sends the mouse to the menu bar with a click of the right button;
MacMenu requires a left button press before you can move into the menu bar.

  (Yeah, it's trivial, but I don't want people to think that the author of
MacMenu was a cheapo renamed copy of the excellent Mousetrap)
