Comments from the macos folks? Given that the one-button-mouse days for macs are long over this looks sensible to me. In case there are objections we can add a config option for right-mouse-click emulation, but I don't feel like adding a option which nobody is going to use ... take care, Gerd

Added to UI patch queue now. thanks, Gerd

Old Macs were not equipped with mice with an ability to perform "right clicks" and ui/cocoa interpreted left button down with left command key pressed as right button down as a workaround. The workaround has an obvious downside: you cannot tell the guest that the left button is down while the left command key is pressed. Today, Macs has trackpads, Apple Mice, or Magic Mice. They are capable to emulate right clicks with gestures, which also allows to perform right clicks on "BootCamp" OSes like Windows. By removing the workaround, we overcome its downside, and provide a behavior consistent with BootCamp.
