X.org mouse click/focus woes

[Tyler Aviss]

So it turns out.... it was my mouse (or mice rather, as the initial
replacement also had similar issues).

For some reason, X detects my >3-button mouse as a "mac mouse" and does
weird stuff to the button mapping. A logout/login fixes it until next
reboot (why, I don't know).

Added a cheap 3-button mouse, and all seems well.
