Yes, that is true. Wmii lacks some events to make it fully scriptable.
They are pretty cheap and I'll add some of them, so that in the end
we'll have (new ones marked with +):

        CreateClient
        ClientFocus
        DestroyClient +

        LeftBarClick
        RightBarClick
        ClientClick

        Key

        CreateColumn +
        FocusColumn +
        DestroyColumn +

        CreateTag
        UnfocusTag
        FocusTag
        DestroyTag

I'll also change the spec for 3.7 accordingly. The concept is going to
change completely for wmii-4 though, but that's not an issue for now.
