UM.. I dont't think so. I'm sure I read in one of the X11 readme or FAQ's
that this is normal (perhaps something to do with "emulate 3 buttons?)
inorder to determine what you rally mean.. that is , is it a left button only,
or a left and a right together to mean a middle, easy way (not timedependant)
to tell is to wait till they are released.
If I am correct, don't waste time trying to Fix a bug that was a feature
designed in. Others comment if my memory serves me wrong.
