Steps to reproduce: install dwm, open a window, run

pmenu -r 3 <<!

b
!

right click on the window, pmenu still opens a menu.

Expected behaviour: This only happens when clicking on the root window, like what happens with xsetroot.

Fixed!

The behavior was actually theexpected when a modifier was provided with the -m option. Since I always use pmenu with the -m option I never realized it didn't work without it.
