I'm using Squeak3.0pre2-x86linux with a three button mouse (actually it's a wheel
mouse). I realized that the "yellow" (middle) and "blue" (right) mouse buttons are
switched: the middle button brings up the context menu and the right button the
window manipulation icons.
That's not switched, that's the way it is SUPPOSED to be.
If you look at the original Smalltalk-80 books, you'll find
left = red
middle = yellow
right = blue
(chapter 1 of the Orange book, for example). It would be *very* confusing
if Squeak had the mouse buttons switched, thank goodness it doesn't.
