They are over-used and dirty. They have their uses, but they are very
incosistently used, and lead to poor standardisation. (Written from
experience as the author of rndcontrol(8))

Won't work. It is a per-mouse thing. (I use two mice on my laptop -
one is two button (the builtin); the other is three-button (a "normal"
mouse)). Each must be separately controlled. (The current system needs
fixing in this regard)
