while you're considering conspiracies, what about the legion of
notebooks that lack a middle button? I have such a machine. Yes it's my
fault for buying it, but sometimes it's hard to turn down an otherwise
perfect machine at a good price. Plus, I assumed that the touchpad would
detect multi finger taps - it doesn't :(
If I remember correctly, in 1993, the
time I first used Linux, many
X apps made use of the middle mouse button (this is valid of course
for other UNIX systems with X11). So, the middle mouse button has
some tradition in the Linux world. I would say that combining
the middle mouse button with the wheel is a design error.
