> (*)  The problem here is that I regularly change from right-handed to
left-handed mouse and indeed regularly use a right-handed mouse with
left handed and vice versa.  I think there needs to be a way of
describing all these three-button mouse things without the assumption of
right-handedness.  I guess though all the labelling is too deeply
ingrained in the system?

This seems to be a gtk thing. From the pygtk.org doc:
gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS
"button"        Read/Write      The button which was pressed or released, 
numbered 
from 1 to 5. Normally button 1 is the left mouse button, 2 is the middle 
button, and 3 is the right button. On 2-button mice, the middle button 
can often be simulated by pressing both mouse buttons together.

So 'right mouse button' is always 3.
