Can you explain?
You disabled the middle and right buttons, didn't you? That's a total Microsoftism. UNIX workstations traditionally use the middle button. MacOS treats them all the same. Java apps treat them all the same too. For proper UNIXy behavior, you'd only allow the middle button. The left and right would, of course, do something dreadful. :-) Try an real xterm scroll bar. I think the old way was by far best for tiny little kids. If "teach them the cold hard reality of their OS" is going to be the goal though, an #ifdef WIN32 is appropriate. It's only Windows that has a clear and strong bias toward the left mouse button. Even on Windows though, left-handed users can swap buttons. _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list Tuxpaint-dev@tux4kids.net http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
