I think Andrew's right. The main problem is if your X server is configured to
emulate a 3-button mouse (which seems often to be the default). Thus a left
and right mouse-click together get sent by the server as a middle-button
click, not as left and right clicks.
If you pause slightly between the clicking and holding down the left button
and clicking and holding down the right button, then this shouldn't be
translated to a middle-button event.
If you do want to disable the 3-button emulation, look for this option in your
X config file (/etc/X11/Xorg.conf or whatever)
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
and set it to false.
Cheers,
Rich
