It is a dell precision m6400 (not inspiron, excuse the lapsus). Apparently, the 
touchpad is the same in m6500 (they call it trackpad).
Left-right click is a possible workaround, also the top-right tap with the 
"mouse clicks" option in mouse preferences.

** Summary changed:

- Touchpad middle button not  working in Dell inspiron m6400 after maverick 
upgrade
+ Touchpad middle button not  working in Dell precision m6400/m6500 after 
maverick upgrade

** Description changed:

- The middlebutton of the touchpad in a dell inspiron m6400 laptop stopped
- working after upgrade to maverick. Apparently it is a problem with the
- current 2.6.35-22-generic kernel, since it is working without any
- problem under any of the mainline kernels.
