FWIW, I now have a working version of pointer-button configuration. It's 
designed to work with any number of buttons, 1/2/3-clicks and/or any 
combination of modifier keys. Minimally tested, and therefore not in svn.

And as many as possible of the pane-related actions have been re-factored so 
that they can be used with generic key- or button-bindings. For example, what 
was "pane1.some-action" is now "pane.some-action 1", but the "1" argument is 
optional and if not present then the relevant pane will be decided at runtime. 
Some of the new "pane" action-names are now more specific like "history" or 
"list" (for filelist). This is a major change to config data, it will be 
necessary to abandon old config file and start fresh.
