Does that mean there is a well-defined "right" and "wrong"
order? I assumed the correct behavior was:
left-click for select
right-click for context menu
middle-click for the halos

This is the MVC behavior (iirc, MVC treated right-click and
middle-click the same), and the behavior of every other
program I have used. Halo's are a concept unique to squeak, and
so should use the under-used middle button

I always swapped mouse buttons in linux even before I found out
that this was the default order in windows (used squeak in linux
first)
