* mouse: Still do not have the ability to paste highlighted text. And I've found no place where I can configure the two-button gesture.
Presumably you've been though YAST -> hardware -> Mouse? Done that?
OK, NEXT: now find a blank part of the desktop and right-click. Bottom of the menu is "Desktop Activity Settings".
If all fails, try "Alt-D, alt-S"
The panel on the left has "mouse settings". Click on that. The rest should be obvious.
Thanks for the help. The setting in YaST was wrong. Problem solved.
I tried the "Desktop Activity Settings" earlier, pressed "Add action", and then pressed the two buttons together. I got an "trigger is already assigned to another action" message. I still get the same message, but at least now, the mouse DOES paste.
The DAS dialogue HAS NO two-button option. That is what led me to conclude, mistakenly, that the gesture is no longer supported. I'm happy to find that I was wrong.
There may be something in the X configuration - however that's done in however the version of X you have running - that says "emulate 3 button mouse". In one sense the Microsoft AD approach does mean you don't have to hunt. Conversely its so godamn complicated and obscure. At least with the *NIX approach everything is compartmentalized and if you zap a config file you're limited in what can go wrong.
