I'm against this last minute change.

The main reason is that it makes Ubuntu's Gnome desktop behave differently from
all other Gnome desktops. This is really bad for Joe User who may sit down at at
different Gnome desktop and not get a consistent behaviour.

The place for such a *MAJOR* change is upstream IMHO.

If it were up to me I wouldn't make this change but I am an advanced enough user
to be able to use the middle-click behaviour. My main concern is consistency,
especially between Warty and Hoary and the possibility of another change between
Hoary and Breezy. I was very confused at the change of behaviour and I am an
advanced user.

Please revert this [post-freeze] change and strive for a properly considered fix
for Breezy.
