Ok, I read that again but I still don't seem to get it. Forgive me, I'm slow:

     -just touch
                 = click left button

     -[win] + touch + 2
                 = click middle button

     -[win] + touch + 3
                 = click right button
     Also, you can use 4th and 5th button.

Can someone tell me what this means? I think this means holding down
the windows key while touching the screen, but what does +2 or +3
mean? What are the 4th and 5th buttons?

I can probably submit a patch for the man page if this needs to be
more clear. So far I don't understand it...
