Ugh!

I have not had to run XCircuit on anything but an X Windows
session since I quit dual booting and went with virtual
machines.  And my X server is setup to chord for middle click.

I can't imagine using XCircuit with fewer buttons.  The current
interface is a _major_ reason I like using it for most of my
drawings.
