OK, this is bizarre. For most of the afternoon, I was running in the
14.3 kernel instead of the new because I was doing an online class that
required a lot of clicking. I finished the class and then came here to
see if there were new messages. So, I ran 'gsettings get
org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed' in the terminal, and it
returned true.

But then I remembered I was still in the old kernel, so I restarted my
laptop and booted the new kernel. Now, I've already done this a couple
of times today, and nothing has changed with the buttons. But when I
booted the new kernel just now, the problem appears to have resolved
itself, and my right button is actually primary as I had set it to be.

So, the problem is somehow resolved, but I'm curious as to how booting
one kernel and then another seems to have made the difference. I haven't
run any updates or anything.

Happy, but curious/confused.
