I believe Ubuntu has 3-button emulation enabled by default (at least, I had to disable mine on mice for a particular game that required button1+button3 be recognized differently from button2). Also, we aren't considering basing whole new actions on middle-clicks, we're discussing about providing shortcuts to certain actions which are already available in the indicator's menu, so if users have crippled mice, they just have to go the longer route. :-) -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin (GPG: 0x8F02A411) Ubuntu Developer
