Public bug reported:
## Issue
- pressing three fingers on the trackpad of an 11" macbook air 3,1
results in love-handles being displayed instead of middle-click being
registered
- cannot middle-click on macbook air 3,1 trackpad
## Environment
- oneiric 11.10 x86_64
- 11" macbook air 3,1 (October 2010)
## Resolution
- [workaround] put fingers down in sequence (1-2-3) instead of all at
once before pressing touchpad
- allow configuration option to disable 3-finger window drag
or
- provide configuration option for middle-clicking some other way
## Root Cause
- 3-finger window drag cannot be disabled
- only 1 physical button available on trackpad requires multi-finger
emulation
