Hi,

The middle mouse button works in Linux, but very differently than you may 
expect: I still do not see any events when only pressing the middle mouse 
button.

Out of luck, I pressed the middle button and moved the mouse. And there you 
see, the mouse returns button 4 and 5.That means that pressing the middle 
mouse button seems to morph the mouse into an implicit wheel.

Thus, when I press the middle button and move my mouse, X11 applies the zoom 
in and zoom out operations.

I think I can remap the button 4 / 5 to button 2 for the middle mouse. But 
then, the button 2 would only work when hitting the middle mouse button and 
move the mouse pointer.

This is not what I want. Do you see any other way of turning the middle mouse 
button into a real useful button?

Ciao
Stephan
