[Xquartz-dev] 2.3.1_beta1

[Merle Reinhart]

It has been option-click for button-2 and command-click for button-3  
ever since at least late Panther (definitely that way all through  
Tiger).  I agree, please don't change it (or if you do, make it  
configurable).

Also, I agree, that all this broke with 2.3.0 (just tried it today on  
my laptop).  Went back to 2.2.3 and it was back to normal and the  
emulate 3-button mouse just worked (option-click for button-2 and  
command-clidk for button-3).
