I located a document by Debian including a suggestion (below) of using
the left side Command key for the right mouse button. I've never used a
macbook myself; can you folks share your feelings on this idea?

http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook:
"I like the Left side "Command" key on my keyboard as the third mouse button, 
here's how I did it:
    * Start gnome-terminal
    * Run xev, it will display the X11 events it picks up
    * Locate the keycode of the key you want to use:
          o Press the key you want locate and locate the KeyPress event in 
gnome-terminal
          o Write down the keycode of the keyevent
    * Run xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Pointer_Button3" to update your keyboard 
map (for this login session only)
    * Add to gnome-session-properties to enable every session. "

I've also forwarded this idea upstream to xkeyboard-config for their
feedback. In googling around for other alternative suggestions, there
were also ideas to use Fn + Ctrl + Click, but I'm not sure that
addresses the discoverability issue as well. Any other preferences for
remapping?

(Fwiw, in googling around on this topic, there certainly is a
considerable amount of confusion among users on how to right-click.)
