Well, my apple mighty mouse theoretically has two button (four, actually), yet
the right-button drag seems to be very unreliable. After I started using it,
I find myself selecting/moving objects more often than panning :-(
Ctrl-left drag would probably do the trick, but still, web maps I use usually
pan using left button and zoom-out on right click, so I make a lot of mistakes
in both environments.....
