This impacts Eclipse because it disables the ability to open a recent launch
configuration for editing by clicking on the drop-down portion of the Run... or
Debug... ToolItem and then CTRL-selecting the item to edit.

- run the ControlExample, go to the Menu tab
- listen for Selection events
- deselect the BAR and DROP_DOWN styles
- press the Create Shell button
- in the example shell that's shown, hold down the right mouse button to show
the context menu
- hold down the CTRL key as well now, and select the Push item in the example menu
  -> on win32 this fires SWT.Selection with a stateMask of SWT.CTRL
  -> on the motifs this does not select the MenuItem, nor dismiss its Menu, so
anyone listening for this would of course not be notified

I believe that this is platform behavior that has been there forever.  When 
they asked for the CTRL mask in a menu selection, I told them about this 
problem.
