Right click wrong on Linux

Dear Squeakers,

On my Linux the right click shows halos instead of menu. I know that
there is some settings somewhere, but this should be done automatically
instead. This is otherwise already solved on Pharo.

I found this bug a quite big usability drawback for newcomers from Linux
world, so this bug should have and urgent priority.

Best regards
Janko

swapMouseButtons preference. Morphic environments need halo so they ship with
this turned off. Pharo is a development image so it can turn this off to get
ContextMenu on right click.

All what you need to know is there (20 messages).

We just need to decide and implement it.

Re: Right click wrong on Linux

Andreas Raab says it is a bug

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-April/148909.html

Juan Vuletich agrees, and so does Bert Freudenberg and others.

Analysis is good and indicated therer; but no decision reached what to do.

So people still have to use the preference 'swapMouseButtons' ...........
