​I misspoke.  I have code that detects when the release falls outside of
the bounds of any Emacs frame.  However, when the release event is over an
Emacs frame that is covered by another application's window, we don't yet
have any information to tell us that, so I cannot detect it yet.  That is
the problem we are discussing how to solve in a general way.
