Some users think they have to have the mouse button down in the Sleep Now
corner to trigger Pyro!, so we have not been able to avoid the problem merely
by testing the mouse button.  (There is a related problem with OnCue's menu
at the right side of the menu bar:  Pyro! can be unintentionally triggered
while the menu is down, which confuses the Menu Manager.)  However, upon
reading the cited article I thought of of a way that Pyro! "could be changed
to not activate in this situation" -- but still activate when the user just
presses the mouse in the Sleep Now corner. The change will be implemented in
the next release.
