Hi Jon

XWin.0.log says I have 5 mouse buttons.  But its lying. I just have 2
mouse pad buttons...  really.  :(

Here is my call:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/bash.exe --login  -c "xinit -- -scrollbars -ac
-clipboard -silent-dup-error -emulate3buttons 100 -unixkill"

I tried from reboot and it still says I have a mouse with 5 buttons.

It seems to me, Windows logs that I had a 5 button mouse at one time and
keeps thinking that I still do.  So it sends that info to XWin which in
turn disables my explicit call, thinking that since 5 != 2, I don't need
it.  (Even if I have 5 mouse buttons I still want to be able to click with
two buttons at the same time to activate middle button.  The reason is I
want both of my computers to behave consistently.)

Anyway it seems you can't trust Windows...
