Try the following: Launch the eToys image, press F2 or go to the system menu and to the "VM preferences" submenu. In there, go to the "Mouse Mapping" section and select "3 button mouse" (yes, that is counter-intuitive ;-) This should fix your problem in such that you now get to use Alt-Click for halos and right button for context menus.
Hi Andreas,
Ahh, this information enabled me to solve my problem, but backwards. I *already* had 3 button mouse enabled, and when I disabled it, my right click gave me a context menu, and I could still get halos using alt left click.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for your help, problem solved.
I borrowed a Windows laptop to look into this. What happens is that a yellowButtonPressed event is in fact generated on ctrl-left-click, but since it had the ctrl flag set it tried to invoke the metaMenu which is disabled in etoysFriendly mode. The attached changeset fixes that - please review.
