I always swap the buttons for my left-handed mouse (and I am a
right-handed person who switched to left due to hand pain). As a Fedora
Core/Gnome user, I change the buttons under Preferences, Mouse and not
in X. In my mind, of course you want to swap the buttons: index finger
is "click", middle finger is "right click". Nothing else makes sense
(you basically said the exact opposite).
As to when others use my system, they had better not be using it under
my login. When they log in with their own user ID, they get their own
preferences and there is no problem (other than moving the mouse to the
other side of the keyboard).
