The interesting thing to me is that is seems counter intuitive compared to the rest of OS/X. Officially on the Mac with a one button mouse - right mouse click by default is Control-Click. If you hit Option-Click on the desktop you get no context menus (Unless of course you redefine things). With control-Click you get the context menus. If you open up an X-Windows terminal, option-click will act as paste (copy/paste) however as I would expect if you use Control-Click you get a context sensitive menu appearing. In GnuBG Control-Click beeps, and Option-Click acts the way Control-Click should work. The current behavior is counter intuitive (imho) to the rest of the desktop. For me its probably more of a problem where I move between Linux/Windows/OS/X. On Windows and Linux right mouse click is used to select alternate players checkers in edit mode (With a 2 button mouse). When I hit OS/X its not the way I would expect. Maybe for those who only use OS/X it isn't much of an issue. It's a low priority concern, I was just curious if anyone else had any feelings on it.
