Is this being done for physical mice with two buttons? The comments seem to indicate not, which seems kind of pointless: if a client has to emulate it for a physical mouse it will be emulating it for touchpads as well.

Delaying a press to see if it is a middle click is also probably annoying. It should send the down event for the first button, then the down event for middle when the second button is pressed (ie the client will see it as a left+middle or right+middle click).

we already had middle mouse button emulation for softbuttons, but not on
physical buttons. This patchset adds support for physical buttons.

Couple of general notes:
* some devices, e.g. 2-button touchpads, have middle button emulation
   enabled, but not exposed as config option
* if you have a middle button emulation is always off by default.
* pressing anything but left/right will stop emulation for this sequence, so
   you can't do an emulated middle button + back button or something. I'm not
   aware of any workflow that actually requires this.

Cheers,
