The new version of xboard (3.0pl9) uses pull-down windows for all the old
familiar operations except for pause, backward, and forward, which are single
clicks on small boxes on the lower menu bar.  Since I'm lazy and I don't want
to continually use the pull-down menus, I've added a few more operations to
the menu bar with a simple hack:

*** 410,419 ****
--- 410,425 ----
      {"<<", ToStartProc},
      {"<", BackwardProc},
      {PAUSE_BUTTON, PauseProc},
      {">", ForwardProc},
      {">>", ToEndProc},
+     {"FM", ForceProc},
+     {"MW", MachineWhiteProc},
+     {"MB", MachineBlackProc},
+     {"FV", FlipViewProc},
+     {"R", ResetProc},
+     {"X", QuitProc},
      {NULL, NULL}
  };
  

If you add the 5 lines indicated with "+" marks (don't include the plus
signs, just the parts after them!).  Then re-make your xboard.  I haven't
extensively researched whether this change is a valid modification to xboard,
but it seems to work for me!
