[Rwp] creating custom action chains

[James Teh]

If you have a machine with a modern high resolution display (usually 
laptops), you're probably hitting high DPI issues. To cut a long story 
short, MSAA is buggy and returns incorrect screen coordinates for list 
views in this case, so the mouse will get routed incorrectly. Yet 
another Windows bug I need to try to find time to hack around at some point.
