Because the index finder (the one next to the thumb) is stronger.  So the 
button that is used most often is operated by the strongest finger.

It is just a matter of training.  Within a day (perhaps 2, but not more), 
anyone will operate a swapped mouse without problem.  In my case: I 
automatically switch buttons/fingers depending whether the mouse is on my 
left or right side.  This goes fully automatic.  As such having a swapped 
left mouse is the a security measure, people won't easily borrow your desktop 
as they are not able to work with the mouse ;)

Back to the problem; is there anyway to debug this problem?  It was okay in 
ltsp-4.1 and on the server it is fine.  It must be something with the 
X-server that is started by the thin client.
