There is no mouse information for the Menu event. You can even raise this 
event without using the mouse, you know.

If you really need to know where is the mouse (but why?), you can use the 
Mouse.ScreenX and Mouse.ScreenY properties.

On X11, knowing where the mouse is may be expensive, when there is Internet 
between the mouse and the process receiving the events. So you get them when 
you have real mouse events only. Otherwise you must explicitely ask the X11 
server for them: that is done by the Mouse.ScreenX / Mouse.ScreenY properties.
