Well, the documentation does say:

This function tries to fetch the next event of a specified type. If no events in the event queue match, this function will run the current event loop until an event that matches arrives, or the timeout expires. Except for timers firing, your application is blocked waiting for events to arrive when inside this function.

I have seen NSEvent's pressedMouseButtons method, but it only became available with the 10.6 SDK and I need something that works with 10.5.
