ok, i thougth this was a dead issue because i got it resolved, BUT.....

i got a new mouse yesterday, upgraded from a regular 2 button mouse to a 
Logitech mouse with the scroll wheel, and it's one of those optical mice, so 
no more ball in the bottom to get gunked up  :)

anyway, now i've got some more problems.....

first, i can't paste into a GAIM IM window with the mouse.  i can use CTRL V 
to do it, but can't use the mouse buttons to do it.  i can, however, use the 
right button to paste anything else in any window.  so maybe i have something 
set wrong, but i can't quite put my finger on it.  i've played with all the 
settings i can find, and i went in and told the mdk control center i was 
using a different mouse (it didn't change anything when i booted up the 
system).  

the second issue i'm having is that the scroll wheel doesn't scroll.  i've 
done some google searches for an answer but all i can find says that it needs 
to be told the scroll wheel's movement is the 4th and 5th mouse buttons, but 
i can't find anything that says how to change that.  but my best guess is 
that making the scroll wheel act like it's buttons 3, 4, and 5 will solve the 
scrolling problem.  anyone know what i have to do to make it do this?

the third issue is the mouse is kinda sketchy.  now i do have 2 dogs and a 
cat, and they do shed quite a bit, and i've seen that when the optical part 
picks up a stray hair, the mouse will be a little sketchy.  but there have 
been a few other times that it's been clean in there and it was a little 
sketchy.  is there a fix for this? 

help greatly appreciated.  thanks in advance.

Mike
