OOH awesome!
--set-button-map device map_button_1 [map_button_2 [...]]
Change the button mapping of device. The buttons are
specified in physical order (starting with button 1) and are mapped
to the logical button provided. 0 disables a button.
The default button mapping for a device is 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc.
Looks like '--set-button-map 13 1 0' did the trick but I don't know
why. That entry was a mistake, I should have done 13 2 0. But left
most position works, middle does nothing, right still is contextual
menu. Hmm.
$ xinput --list-props 13

That's cute, but equally cute is that it doesn't behave this way on
either Windows or OS X. I didn't even know it had a middle sensing
area until now. I haven't tried it with KDE yet so I'm not sure if
it's better there.
