GRASS (X11) takes mouse buttons as they are assigned in System  
Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse.  ie, if you set your mouse right- 
handed, the left and right will be switched in GRASS also.  I believe  
the middle button on the mighty mouse defaults to some OS feature (I  
don't have an iMac handy, but can check later), so you need to change  
it to a normal middle button.


I think there's also a key you can use in GRASS to emulate a middle- 
click but I can't find it in the docs.


Tip: disable the side squeeze buttons, I found that they are too  
sensitive (unless recent models have improved), and when lifting the  
mouse to recenter it on the mousepad it's easy to accidentally trigger  
Exposé.

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
