As for easy assignment, yes, it would be easy to assigned clicks and gestures statically to actions, but that wouldn't be very flexible, would it?  As for determining which element UI element is focused, the code already does that, see MythMainWindow::eventFilter method.

So, as I was saying, all you need to do is translate the gesture (which includes single mouse clicks) into an appropriate action, and pass it off to the appropriate receiver.
