Thanks for reminding me...  When working the Seattle Marathon a
couple of weeks ago I was using the Pidgin Jabber client and a
couple of copies of Xastir at the same time.  When I closed each
Jabber popup the mouse click didn't end there but ended up
zooming/re-centering my map screen for the Xastir underneath.  It
got real annoying real quick.  My intent was to add a feature just
as you describe.
