xi2: Ignore button release events of button 4-7 (1.63 KB, patch)

Description Ralph Loader 2011-03-05 02:20:26 UTC 
Using the mouse wheel to scroll through a document, any URL that passes under the mouse cursor gets followed (either within evince or by sending off to webbrowser).

This shouldn't happen; only appropriate mouse buttons should follow URLs.

We treat button presses of button 4-7 as scroll wheel events, so release events should be ignored.
