Hm. I do worry about less determinate behaviour, particularly if people start blaming the graphics layer for being 'slow' when the issue is input lag if your mouse doesn't report a middle button. Could we just default it to off, add a property if there's none already, and make sure the toggle gets into GNOME/KDE control panels? Cheers, Daniel
