I had a similar problem which i found a solution to
that works fine for me. I got the idea from someone I saw playing
battlefield 1942 or some kind of shoot'em up game, which had
a HUD (Human User Ding?) that cold be raised and lowered by clicking the right mouse
button. The HUD was used for changing weapon, etc.

I have used this idea for my pager, xload, buttonbar and iconthingy:

All of these thingies which are part of the user interface are named
UIsomething, i.e. UIPager, UIButtons etc. such that the following
function will raise lower them:

AddToFunc UIRaiseLower
+ I ALL (UI*) RaiseLower

With the following mappings pressing F12 or CTRL-Mouse3 will raise-lower
the UI.

Key F12 A N Function UIRaiseLower
Mouse 3 A C Function UIRaiseLower



Hope this also helps you!
