Agreed. I have an Apple magic trackpad that I occasionally play with, and this issue / design choice makes it pretty unusable with current Unity. The multitouch gestures for moving windows are great and all, but what's the substitute for "highlight text with click and drag, and then middle click to paste" -- catering to all backgrounds is great, but what about old school X users? Also as others mention, middle click to close tabs in Firefox is pretty useful too.
