    Rik,
    
    On further analysis/testing, I think it might be better to use the 
    double-left-click, instead of the single one, to return the user to the main 
    JPilot window from the Weekly/Montly,etc. views.
    
    As it stands, certain unexpected things are occurring in the "Weekly View":
    
    1. A click in the main body of the window below the button panel at the top, 
    while the window is lower in the window stack than the JPilot main window, 
    only causes the "week view" window to have focus while the mouse button is 
    held down.
    
    2. Right-clicking within a day doesn't open the "copy" context menu.
    
    3. Clicking and dragging the pointer over text doesn't select it.
    
    Additionally, the "Monthly View" behaves oddly:
    
    1. The cursor position persists between focus sessions, causing text to be 
    highlighted unwantedly when returning to it.
    
    2. Clicking inside another day doesn't change the (invisible) "cursor 
    position".
    
    3. The button panel becomes non-functional while a cursor position is defined 
    (specified) in the window.
    
    There may be other affected windows but I haven't looked any further.
    
    Probably what we want is that a left-double-click on a day in the 
    "weekly/monthly view" takes the user back to the correct day in the main 
    window. Of course, this precludes using that action to select a word or line, 
    etc. But at least the "gain focus" and "select/copy" functionality should be 
    more predictable.
