mouse button binding conflict with fvwm

[Jim Cline <jcline hep physics mcgill ca>]

I am running fvwm under gnome (in Ubuntu).  Everything works well except 
that gnome has stolen the bindings for the left and right mouse buttons 
for its own purposes.  Only the middle mouse button works as expected with 
fvwm.  I have looked all over in gconf-editor to find out whether this 
gnome binding can be released, with no success.  --Jim
