Might be useful, though I tend to set Muine's volume & then control the 
master volume. This might be too easy to tweak. Since middle clicking 
shows/hides the window, it might be very easy to scroll up or down while 
middle-clicking.

I presume this is different than left & right clicks? I only have 3 
buttons, so this feature would be useless to me.

Interesting idea. No one ever thinks to double-right-click though. These 
would have to be documented poweruser features, otherwise no one would 
ever find them.

There's no harm in submitting a patch. Whether or not Jorn wants to 
apply it is the question.
