"""" How will Apple get a Mac ONE button mouse to function as if it
"""" were an X-type mouse with several buttons?
"""
"""AUX X-windows uses the mouse button as the left button in the X. Left and
"""right arrows on the keyboard are mapped to middle and right mouse buttons
"""respectively.

Could they not have used the Option, Shift, Control, or Command keys in
combination with a click?  (i.e. Shift-click is left, Click is center,
Command-click is right?)
