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.
