The whole right-click to do something related, but different or opposite to the left-click is much lamented. Inverting the use of buttons so you could easily scroll up if you'd just scrolled down. Modifying selections (not just text ala xterm but files etc as well) without involving stupid use of the shift key. Keeping menus up as you mentioned. Closing filer windows as you open a child, or opening parent filer windows as you close one. Opening a filer window for where a document was located from the document window. Resizing or moving a window without bringing it to the front. There's so many damn useful things you can do with a spare button rather than leave it impotent. Hates combining keyboard keys with mouse clicks. Cheers, Martin
