Outside of X11, Ctrl-click is exactly equivalent to a right-click and that is the only way to get the contextual menus on a laptop without a mouse plugged in. The only way to get that behaviour in X11 I could figure out is to check the "Enable key equivalents under X11". Unfortunately, as the preferences dialogue warns, that brings havoc to those X11 applications relying on the meta modifier.

It occurs to me that "Emulate three-button mouse" should be changed to use Ctrl instead of Cmd for right-click, for consistency with native OSX behavior.
