I grew up when mice didn't have wheels but heavily used the middle button. Now I can't get a proper 3-button mouse anymore, and when I click the middle button I often get unwanted wheel rotations. Maybe there should be a variable telling what to do with simultaneous clicks and rotations. -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org
