I wouldn't like to see that as a replacement for alternate click, but it
would create good interpolability with mac. Although, don't a lot of mac
users go out an buy 3 button mice so that they can use a scroolwheel and
alternate-click. I always found waiting 3 seconds for a context menu
unbareably slow.
