Keyboard - mouse interface fail on linux install

Hello everybody,

i am a newbie curious about Squeak, so i downloaded v3.1beta and
installed it on my PC (i run Linux Mandrake). Everything went smoothly,
but now i am on the Squeak interface, i have all the windows and all,
but my mouse and the keyboead seem screwed up. 

That means, that for ex. when i left-click on the background i should
get this "World" menu, right? It just selects the whole Window with the
little colored dots around. The right button acts as the left one.It is
the middle button which lets me select commands. So i thought it was
just the buttons that were mismatched. But the middle button on the
background gives me only a "personal" menu. I tried too
"Ctrl+left-click" it gave me yet another menu "World", but not the main
one that was described. 

The keyboard also does not respond. Also when i am in a text box (for
exemple a search or edit box), the keyboard does not give anything, but
seems to react to commands, as if i were pressing alt+letter or
ctrl+letter. For example, when i am in the main window, typing 'm'
directly gives the menu "add a new morph".

Do you have an idea of what's going on?

Thxs
