About the clean lines, I agree that the laptops would loose some of their finesse, but how about a 'rocker' button design and a system preference, default is one-button operation, but 'advanced' users can set it to two button operation. (just a possible solution, not one that I anticipate or expect Apple to implement)
Actually, my favorite extension for Classic OS is FinderPop which emulated holding the control-key down by holding the mouse button down for a user-variable length of time, thus giving you a one-button version of a right-click. Far more elegant solution IMO, plus since it merely called up the contextual menu stuff, it was astonishingly extensible, and was a hell of a piece of software.
Made the contextual menu thing in Windowze look positively stone-age in comparison.
Alas the developer stopped development with the advent of OSX as OSX pissed him off (Sure to start off a new round of flamage I'm sure :-(
Yes, I am a long time user of FinderPop. I've found that the haxie FruitMenu serves that purpose: holding the mouse button down for a user-variable length of time, thus giving you a one-button version of a right-click.
LOVE those haxies and other OS X utilities and system extenders! LOVE my 2 button MacAlly OptiJr on my Pismo 400.
