I'm using the 31P7405 that matches picture (expect for brand name :-) of
(found a few unexpectedly inexpensive on ebay)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-ThinkPlus-Optical-3-Button-ScrollPoint/dp/B00009VFIV/
before that one I've been using three button mice for years.
the middle button of the scrollpoint mouse is much farther away than
on the mice I used before, so occasionally I hit the scrollpoint
(blue thingy) while clicking the middle button.
neverthless, I never expected I would like the scroll point so much.
regarding p9p rio - some years ago I tried hacking it to
keep transient windows on top of their main windows
(by suggestion from Russ) but I messed up the code,
my changes were too complex, and it would occasionally break.
I thought that I should first read the icccm documents
and retry, but of course never got to it.
since then I started using osx and acme-sac instead of p9p,
so chances are slim I'll return to hacking p9p rio...
Axel.
