    It is a 3-button mouse. The wheel can be depressed, thus it has a
    middle button. It works perfectly fine as a three button mouse in X
    because it is one. Plus, the Microsoft Intellimouse is one of the
    options in the config program.

    On top of all of that, the name of the program is redhat-config-mouse.
    I prefer the much shorter name for it (also the only name it used to
    have), mouseconfig.

    However, since you brought it up, switching to the two-button mouse
    configuration did not make a difference. However, switching to the
    two-button configuration, then switching to Generic Wheel Mouse did
    work. I then switched it back to the Intellimouse setting (which I
    think is the same thing, but oh well), and it continued to work. So I
    guess thanks making the mistake that helped me make things right again.
