Well any right clicks sent to applications (produced by emulation

middle clicks... There's no magic that needs to be done. Just set
the preference you want in OSX's trackpad preferences, and it'll
"just work" with X11.
But there is no such preference for middle-click--only for right-
click.
Ok, then file a bug report request for it at:

So *you* would need to do provide this functionality, in X11, which
is why I was talking about handling multitouch events below.
In order to handle multi-touch events, we would need to receive such
events and have a way to pass them on to the Xserver. We have neither.
In other words, on a MacBook Pro without an external mouse, X11 will
never get a middle-click from OS X (AppKit, I guess?),
Works for me with the Emulate 3 button mouse preference (command click
and option click).
but it will get three-finger-taps (via an API that's supposed to be
public in Snow Leopard) and could then generate middle-click X events.
I don't want to go down that path. That is the path to more spaghetti
code... especially once we start wanting to actually pass those events
to the Xserver rather than interpret them.
