Re: [MiNT] Sample code to reproduce potentially broken toolbar event handling (XaAES)

Hi again,

I've now tested it with identical results on XaAES v0.999 (Dec 15 2010).

I'm hoping for the former, since the latter means I'll have to resort to some fairly ugly workarounds in my current project (and so far I haven't found a workaround which works 100%).
