The attached testcase demonstrates the java.awt.event.MouseEvent
internally knows about the middle and right mouse buttons (because
the correct data shows up in event.toString()).

However, querying those values via getButton() or getModifiers()
or InputEvent.isAltDown() / isMetaDown() always returns false.
This makes it impossible to detect middle/right button clicks in
user programs.

Testcase usage: compile and run, then try mouse-clicks on the frame
using all mouse buttons and the (shift/alt/meta/control)-key+button1
variants. Might use java.awt.Robot to automate...
