<PRE>Found a solution on an Ubuntu list/blog:

Seems the problem comes from a new default onfig of evdev, which no longer 
activates by default the three-button emulation.

There is no GUI way to change this at the moment, it can be changed by adding 
to xorg.conf the following:

Section &quot;InputClass&quot;
    Identifier &quot;middle button emulation class&quot;
    MatchIsPointer &quot;on&quot;
    Option &quot;Emulate3Buttons&quot; &quot;on&quot;
EndSection

I read (but did not check, not a Gnome user) that under gnome

$&gt; gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse 
middle-button-enabled true

also does trick.
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.
