A user described a mouse that cooks breakfast for you and a laptop
with a trackpad and a '4way scroll button'....

And ESP-r does not know how to interpret some of the mouse
clicks....

Sounds like the mouse and track pad are way more clever than
we anticipated.  Essentially ESP-r knows nothing about extra
mouse functionality beyond what a standard 3 button mouse
offers (and actually the X11 version only assumes a basic
mouse).  With the GTK version of ESP-r there might be a way
to leverage additional functions but other issues are higher
up on the todo list.

One work-around is to connect a standard 3
button mouse to your machine - that is a combination that we
have tested.
