Is there anyway to configure the middle mouse button event as a 3

If anything, this would be at the toolkit level. There's nothing at
the server level that has to do with interpretations of mouse events
as anything more than mouse events. That being said, X11 doesn't
really even know about "fingers"... all it knows about mice are x/y
location (or deltas of) and buttons... so I'm curious where you
would find something like that useful... Am I missing something?
I think Egan wants another option for mouse-button emulation--
specifically, have a three-finger tap produce a middle-click. This
would fit quite well with the fact that two-finger taps already
produce right-clicks anywhere in OS X (if you enable it in the
Trackpad pane of System Preferences).
IIRC from random reading on the interwebs, the APIs for applications
to receive multitouch events are private (though easy to reverse-
engineer) in Leopard but look to be public in Snow Leopard. But I
suppose that distinction shouldn't matter for an Apple product. :-)
