To be honest - and this is pretty similar to the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace thing - I'm willing to bet that people who rely on left click to select PRIMARY and middle click to paste it, are capable of navigating to a GUI control panel and selecting one checkbox. (Before someone says 'but not everyone uses GNOME, you fascist': people who use xmonad or OpenBox or whatever are _more than_ capable of setting this themselves.) Cheers, Daniel
