I'm sure that section of the manual is out of date (horribly).  The 
menus in pcb (both lesstif and GTK HID's) are fully user configurable 
via the pcb-menu.res (lesstif) and gpcb-menu.res (gtk) files.  If the 
appropriate .res file is not found at startup then some compiled in 
defaults are used.

Currently I believe that the lesstif HID allows you to define what the 
mouse buttons do.  I'm not 100% sure of this.  That particular bit of 
functionality isn't currently in the gtk HID.  Thats what the warning is 
about.  One goal was for the gtk HID to be able to read any menu 
resource file that the lesstif one does.  So the warning is there to let 
you know it encountered something not fully implemented.

The mouse actions are hard coded at the moment.
