Ah okay... I should have carefully read: If it says "key binding" it
means "key" of "keyboard", not of "mouse" :)

Oh, all of the above are very interesting question, but I guess this
will be quite a piece of work, because I then have to reinstall 8.04,
get it working and then upgrade again. My question here is: Is this
absolutely necessary? I mean, why does KDE 3 obvously recognize
MidMouse, while KDE 4 doesn´t any more? If there is any good reason,
let me know. If however it is not possible to find the cause, I will
have to reinstall all. I just want to make sure that it is worth the
work.
