In your XF86Config file (probably /etc/X11/XF86Config or
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config), the pointer section should have an
entry in it that says "Emulate3Buttons" if you want "left and right
buttons together" to mean "middle button".

Usually, the menu invoked by pressing the left or middle buttons on
the root window will have an "Exit FVWM" option.

I've never used it before (it uses an XFree86 server extension that
Metro-X doesn't have), but there is a program called 'xvidtune' that
should let you put your desktop in the middle of the screen.

man doesn't depend on MANPATH.  You shouldn't set it unless you have
some particular need to; manual page directories and other related
stuff is defined in '/etc/man.config'.
