Description:

problem: we have a grab - and get all events;
to simulate regular behaior inside, we have to synthetically simulate
focus control and implicit grab on buttonPress.

[instance variables:]
    comboBox                <ExtendedComboBox>

    widget                  <View>          the widget which contains the menu

    lastPointerView         <View>          view which contained the
                                            mouse pointer.
                                            used for enter/leave event generation.

    implicitGrabView         <View>         view in which button was pressed;
                                            nilled when released (wherever).
                                            If non-nil, all events are forwarded to this
                                            one (for example to scroll with mouse outside the scrollbar)

    eventHandler            <OneArgBlock>   if not nil, the block will
                                            handle all inputEvents

    resizeCursor            <Cursor>        shown for resize handle

    restoreCursor           <Cursor>        default cursor
