Hi All,
This may sound silly, but...
Is anyone else bothered by the apparently arbitrary use of "red/yellow/blue" to identify the mouse buttons in the source? I never remember which is which. ...SNIP...

Maybe it's some infection at IBM, but I never liked the color designations either. I have no clue which button on my Mac two button mouse is the red one without having to look it up, but I recently memorized which is the yellow one. Maybe I haven't written enough UI code yet...
I'd love to see a shift to left/center/right, or better Button1, Button2, Button3.
