Ok, well I was offering up three behaviours.

a) the original mac one button mouse behaviour and how it interacts  
now with multiple mice.
b) the broken window behaviour, I mean could change the info.plist  
key to brokenWindowsBehaviour if people want.
c) the 3 button color mouse behavior (which is the unbroken windows  
behaviour?)

really I guess the questions is more what should it do?
