Those are old, ugly, crufty, and IMHO, depcerated. :^)

Even Adobe's latest Acrobat Viewer for Linux was ugly and wonky, but that
was version 5.  They're beta-testing version 7 as we speak.  I'm assuming
they'll have switch to a more sane UI like Qt or GTK+ by now. :^)

Having to document how the mouse works on one OS versus another seems
silly. :^/

Heh, I'll consider the above your 'bug report' and work on an option for you
(and others with kids so young that they don't want to care about the
distinction between the buttons).

It's a similar situation to why we have the scrollwheel-disabling code, so...
