Right-click (button 2) is command-click in Tiger. I prefer
command-click, and I would like it to be configurable. Not
that you can do anything about it in the OS in general, but
making it configurable for X11 would be great. You could
set button two and button three separately in XDarwin, and I
actually swapped them round to have command-click = button 3
and option-click = button 2. Having it configurable makes
it easier for emacs users to use option/alt for the meta key
too. Not top of the priority list, but would be much
appreciated.
