Thank you for the followup.  I tested it with Emacs that was
checked out from the CVS trunk this early morning (in Japan,
i.e., about 10 hours ago) and built with `make bootstrap'.  Are
the other informations necessary?  BTW, does the file name that
provides the `widget-button-press' function appear in the *Help*
buffer for the `C-h f' command in your system?
