 problem lies in c_update_tool. That is where the buttons are getting
 switched.

 c_update_tool is not touching button number, it's just passing it as-is to
 registered tool update function. Tool decides what kind of action to take
 depending on button number 1, 2 or 3. I.e. line.c @210 has defined 1=new
 point; 2=Undo; 3=quit.

 You can rearrange buttons or keys in any order as long as it results in
 sending correct button number to c_update_tool function.

 You can test Your TCL/windowing system mouse button order by launching
 wish from CLI and executing:
 {{{
 bind . <ButtonPress> { puts "Plain %b" }
 }}}
 On my GNU/Linux system it gives: 1=left; 2=middle; 3=right.

 As I wrote, more complex bindings (i.e. double click) are tricky as we
 then have to delay single click event some ms before firing to detect
 double/tripple/... click. This was a case for KDE some time a go and got
 removed to make UI more responsive, as there are no more few ms delays on
 every mouse click.
