Otis, This issue may be that the system binds cntrl-left = right mouse button. This is because until recently most macs came with a one button mouse. I always replaced it with a two-button/scroll-wheel mouse:). But on my mice the cntl-left still brings up the context sensitive right button menus. My guess is your unbind is only affecting the browser, so everything is captured by the OS and you don't get signal passed through.
