We're making a UNIX desktop though, not a My First Sony one-button-does-all
desktop. There's a third mouse button on my mouse for a reason. Any
attempt to convince me to dumb applications down to the lowest common
hardware denominator will be met with extreme hostility. ;-)

One-two-three button discussions aren't at all interesting anyway, as any
KDE application should function perfectly with keyboard only in the first
place, no?
