   Can anyone say whether support for the 3rd mouse button was added in
   KickStart 2?  I'd bve nice if Intuition returned events for it just as it
   does the other two...

   Yes, I have a three button mouse...

So do I. There are a few things which help.

First: There is Middlebutton. It is a nice little event-handler which
works fine together with all those other little event handlers. It
merely adds a qualifier to all other events which happen while the
middle mouse button is depressed. You can use this to great advantage
e.g. together with dmouse. My dmouse is configured to flip screens
when the right mouse button is depressed together with the middle
mouse button. Quite useful, especially with those multiple wb screens.

Second: Judging from the ScreenX 3.0 documentation, which claims that
it will do certain things when the middle mouse button is depressed
under 2.0, 2.0 seems to support the middle mouse button. The most
amazing thing is that although I don't run 2.0, screenx corresponds
correctly. Maybe MiddleButton emulates the correct 2.0 behavior ?
