 This works with xfree, but the fix never made it to xorg:

 Redo previous completely different: get rid of the "disable emulate3Buttons
 on first middle button press" wholesale. It does not make sense at all
 since we multiplex multiple mice into one wsmouse device and this logic
 would need to distinguish the pre-multiplexed devices.
 
 XXX - maybe this should check for the wsmouse protocol? I don't know - and
 the xfree people chose not to be helpful at all.
 
 Fixes PR xsrc/26188.

 Jared said we should do 3utton emulation in wsmouse instead (which makes sense
 to me).
