True. However, metacity along with other applications have various operations which are bound to specific mouse buttons (1, 2, 3). Users with a different number of mouse buttons are faced with having to take some action for this. > What you need to do is set the Emulate3Buttons directive in your > xorg.conf/XF86Config config file.

I was hoping that someone might know which. -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ > Larry W.
