BTW: are you aware of the standard X keyboard-mouse?
hold ctrl-(left?)alt-shift and press num-lock. You should hear a beep.
Now the numeric keypad will operate the mouse:
* arrows move, including home, end, pageup and pgdn
* 5 clicks the "current button"
* + doubles-clicks the "current button"
* 0 holds down the "current button"
* . releases the "current button"
The "current button is by-default the first one. You can change it
using:
/ The first
* The second
- The third ("middle")
THis is basically set in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat/mousekeys
