yep, that did it.  Take that, evil corner key :)  ANd now there's a tiny 
little piece of white plastic in my desk.  I'm sure that noone would 
have removed a piece of a departmental computer, but my caps lock 
doesn't stay down any more . . .

:)

Would I edit the termcaps database to swap keys at the bsd level?  Hmm, 
and i better hit a keyboard file with resedit for the macos side . . .

Ahah.  I hadn't realized that I got so many modifiers in X . . .

ANd I happily found the sections on the pointer, but didn't get too far:  
It seems that my right button simply sends a right-arrow key.  I don't 
suppose there's a way to intercept by which adb device a key came from, 
is there?
