This behavior exists under KDE on FC2 as well. Found workaround on another bug list; comment out following line in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
Restart X. So far, this allows mouse button reset without side effects.
*** Bug 123800 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Moving to xorg at a guess - its nothing to do with the panel and at least the xorg people might recognise the bug The X server seems to only allow reordering of the first configured
pointing device. This doesn't appear to be a bug per se. but rather
a design limitation, or at least that's my interpretation upon
investigation.
Upgrade to Fedora Core 3 test2 or later, and if this problem still
exists, file a bug report in the X.Org bugzilla located at:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component
Once you've filed a bug report to X.Org, if you would like Red Hat
to track the issue, please paste the X.Org bug URL here, and we
will add it to our internal tracking list.
Thanks in advance.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: I've been having trouble with using my mouse left-handed. using Gnome (don't have KDE installed at all), when i use the mouse preferences applet to switch to "left-handed mouse", the buttons display strange behaviour. the left mouse button seems to behave as it should (like a righty right-handed button). the right mouse button, however, does not work correctly. the most striking issue is that clicking on the gnome-panel menu causes the menu to flash on screen -- it doesn't stay open as it usually would. also, hovering over the gnome-panel icons causes them to appear depressed, but no action is performed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set mouse to left handed in "Mouse Preferences" 2. attempt to use mouse to access gnome menu Actual Results: menu flashes on right-click, instead of being accessible. Expected Results: menu should behave as it does when left-clicked with a right-handed mouse. Additional info: this bug has been around since i first installed FC2T1, and persists through all the updates available on yum/up2date as of today.
