I have no problem with this, however, some programs (Qmouse, Clkdj for
example) use a 'hold down the menu button and click the left button' type
action. (In my examples, it's used to click a window to the back) This could
be a problem, another problem could be if someone decided to apply this to a
three button mouse... i.e. 'Hold down the middle button and click the left
button' or one of the other three actions 'impossible' on a two-button mouse.
