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.
