The problem with barclick is, that the tagging area should keep
working as is, same with the layout indicator. So the only
remaining areas are the bar where the client title is displayed
and the status text. All in all I believe too much overhead to
provide easy extension/customization for this ;)
Actually I believe that changing the mouse click handling on
specific bar areas should be done due a dwm.c patch.
