Hmm... now I'm confused. Since I don't have a separate button, I put one 
finger on, then a second, then press, and it treats it as "left click". 
(There's no separate physical button.) How is that different from what you 
describe? (Sorry if I'm being particularly dense. Maybe I should just build an 
old version from source.)
