Lennart: I think perhaps what Omer is trying to understand is why (on
your specific machine) mouse-chord/emulation is not enabled by default
(it should have been working out-of-the-box on all non-Apple machines,
and non-ThinkPads, and that having been the case for several years).
This is one in the X server, which is a much lower-level than the window
manager.

Could you possibly help clarify a couple of points:

  1. Does left+right (middle click emulation) work in other applications.  Eg. 
can you use it for scrolling in Evince?
  2. Did left+right (middle click emulation) previously work automatically on 
the same hardware under a previous release of Ubuntu?
  3. Are there any preferences that yourself, or another user on the machine, 
have configured in the process of attempting to resolve the non-working 
left+right (middle click) emulation?

The main thing is to ascertain whether this is a particular machine (a
particular touchpad), or a wider issue.  I believe that "Incomplete" in
this case refers to needing to fine out more information first, here
that means whether fully understanding the extent (scope) of the problem
that you've discovered.
