I just got epoch-4.0p0 up and running, and while rummaging throughout
the contrib stuff, noticed, and began using the imouse package.  While
I like the package quite a bit, I have found a rather annoying problem
with it.  The Sun Open Windows bindings to the mouse buttons can not
be changed as said in the docs.  Being an X user, I find it a tad
annoying that I have to use the rightmost mouse button for pasting
text.

The manual suggests using:

      (setq mouse-modify mouse-right)
      (setq mouse-paste mouse-middle)

and I have tried:

      (setq imouse-modify mouse-right)
      (setq imouse-paste mouse-middle)

to no avail...


any suggestions on how to fix this?  (or am I doing something wrong?)


thanks...

Colin

I'm the author, and I'm ashamed.  I had this bug reported and fixed a
long time ago, but the documentation is still not clear.  Just call:

(imouse-do-bindings)

after redefining the imouse buttons.

If you have an old version, imouse-do-bindings may not be defined.
I'll make a new version available by midnight (EDT) today, by ftp on
ireq-robot.hydro.qc.ca:/pub/emacs/lisp/imouse.tar.Z.  Installation is
simple.

Thanks for the report.
