Sounds good. The problem I see with this proposal is that I have not
been able to think of a good way to make mouse handling modular so far.
Therefore, I just wanted to hand the mouse handling entirely to the
different modules (i.e. they provide handling functions). This is not
necessarily a contradiction to your proposal, but I think the
implementation would be tricky, if we want to keep the behavior
consistent across modules.

As for the increasing number of modes, I think at the moment we can
limit them to three that are already implemented (slide (presentation),
index and drawing) plus a new one (help). Timer could be an addition to
presentation mode and whiteboard I see as being part of drawing mode.  

Cheers,
Hannes
