Is there an extension which translates "Pointer not moving + Button held
down" as "Pop up a Contextual Menu"?  There ought to be, because this
would prevent the Mac from gravitating towards the heresy of Two
Buttons.  Also, IE and NN have had this facility for years, and it feels
great!

If there isn't one, would somebody like to write one now?  It would earn
a couple of quid from me, at least, and could change the world forever:)

Since you seem not to get out much, I'll make this easy: go straight to 

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/2573/

where you can download the latest version 1.7.2 of FinderPop. It's
brilliant and you don't even have to pay for it.

Apple chose Ctrl-click instead.

My mouse has four buttons. I have to say that I like it...
