I am not a GNOME user. On my KDE 4.5 desktop, I am able to get the
"middle" button effect by pressing L+R buttons of the mousepad (it is
an old Compaq laptop).
All the solutions on the Internet use synclient. The problem with this
is that synclient needs to be run at boot, after waking from suspend,
and after logging in. Occasionally, it will stop working and require a
reboot before it starts.
