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

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).

Exactly.  Option-tap just isn't doing it for me.  Any other options other than a "real" mouse?
