Re: left handed mouse problem

[Peter Hartshorn <peter.hartshorn@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is that the two settings (X and Windows) are cancelling each other
out. Either remove the settings from XModmap (not acceptable) or set the
mouse pointer to right handed.

Another thing we could do is either have a flag for rdesktop, or even check
the mouse orientation in X (if it is left handed, we reverse the buttons).

A hack for the detection could be to scan the XModmap file for the pointer
entry.
