Right now I can't think of a good way to change the VM's default and still have Etoys work correctly out-of-the-box (we have no way to tell).

That might be an option. It doesn't even need to be changeable, but if the image could know how the VM maps buttons to mouse events it could react accordingly. OTOH if the image "corrects" the VM then there is no way to specify on the command line what behavior you'ld like ... Hmm.
