I'm not sure this is the correct list for your question... is your
application an X11 app?

Hello all-
New to this, so be gentle.
I use a program that would be insanely useful (no more carrying
around a three-button mouse) if we could add a meta modifier to the
macbook Air trackpad. The control button appears to be a "null"
right now. Anyone know how to do this? In a nutshell, I would like
to make the control key to be used to drive the trackpad as if we
were holding down the middle & right mouse buttons simultaneously.
Any help would be appreciated.

So many of you are wondering what exactly is the state of X11 in SL.
Well, it should come as no surprise to you that the MacOSForge
releases were actually in some ways in-progress releases for what
would eventually become X11 in OSX 10.6. The version in 10.6 is
reported as 2.3.4. This release is (as you can probably guess)
between 2.3.3.2 and 2.4.0, but there will be no similar release for
Leopard.
The 2.3.4 version in SL incorporates most of the main fixes that went
into 2.4.0, but not some of the "upstream pushed out a new version of
libSomething, so let's include it" changes. Similarly, the 2.3.4
version is still on the 1.4.x server base (although much newer than
2.3.3.1). The 1.5.x server in 2.4.0 still has a few regressions in
it, and I didn't feel the improvements outweighed the risks at the
time.
There will be no 2.4.0 release for SnowLeopard.
At this time, the plan is to release 2.4.1 for both Leopard and SL.
My guess is that this will happen around December. The Leopard
releases will continue to be installed in /usr/X11 and /Applications/
Utilities/X11.app, but SL will be installed outside of those
locations
to avoid clobber from SoftwareUpdate. This should allow easier
system
administration (no longer needing to reinstall X11 after a SU) and
easier regression testing.
If anyone has any specific questions, feel free to ask them.
Thanks,
Jeremy
