Sorry, I don't have OpenStep available, but OS X's docs clearly state 
"... simulate a single mouse click on the receiver ..." in all three 
descriptions. The mouse doesn't know about views and/or frames either.

Not to offend you, but this sounds like it's a pure implementation 
problem and GNUstep's implementation is inferior to OpenStep and Cocoa.

As a "user" (application developer) I don't really care how it is done 
and I want to fiddle with parameters as rarely as possible. NeXT 
managed to do it and Apple managed it, so why doesn't GNUstep?



OK, I'll shut up now since I'm not really coding for GNUstep and I 
don't want to hobble your efforts.


Just FYI, I've found a method with the same signature you suggested but 
different behaviour in NSPopUpButtonCell's docs:
