Middle-mouse click does nothing on my system (Logitech M705) Yes I am using Icons a lot for working out which Contexts I've got set. This is extremely fiddly to set up but once done it works brilliantly. It has been something of a revolution in fact! (FWIW, if you are interested it's set up in the Automatic Formatting Rules - and what's particularly nice is that you can choose which column position each Icon will appear in.)
