The problem is to figure out how to force clicking different
mouse buttons to emit the corresponding mouse event.  Currently
clicking on the tab-line correctly emits such events, e.g.:

  <tab-line> <mouse-1>
  <tab-line> <mouse-2>

but clicking any mouse button on the tab-bar emits events like:

  <tab-bar> <tab-1>
  <tab-bar> <tab-2>
