I use a desktop with a three button mouse, but I still don't like 
using the middle button.  It is the scrollwheel with a bit of a hair 
trigger.  Most of the time when I try to use it as a button, the 
wheel nudges a step or worse, moves a step and then back, sometimes 
more than once.  With the wheel doing a zoom on a crowded view, it 
can take a while before the zoom settles down... very annoying.

I'm all for a context menu.  I assume that means right clicking to 
bring it up.  Then several things can be just a context menu away.
