> (*) 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.
