We have some Lenovo 3-button/scrollpoint type mice here... the problem is that
since the scroller isn't really a wheel, more of a nub you push, it's difficult
to move only one desktop; as with the Mighty Mouse, it tends to skip through
several desktops.
I'm sticking to my Logitech 3-button PS/2 mouse for now; that's the mouse I
always suggest to new Plan 9 users. I have about 5 of them.
