Yes, a thing like this.

This is just what I mean :)

Yes, if this is possible, I really like that (but this mean to rewrite
a lot of stumpwm internal code).

I think the *root-map* is a good candidate: when you press C-t,
you wait for a keypress as usual and you grab mouse events as you have
said just above. But, only a keypress or a mouse-button-1 (or a
special value returned by the stumpwm command) make stumpwm
leave the event loop (so multiple mouse event can be made)
So, C-t enter the mouse mode (instead of C-t C-x in my mouse.lisp).

I don't like the *top-map* because unless you're in mouse mode, all
mouse event doesn't have to be grabbed.
