Bug Description
The right-click key appears to be mapped to F12, which on a PowerBook G4 is the key labelled "Eject", not exactly discoverable, especially on a LiveCD!

how do i right click is a very common question in the powerpc forum.
any suggestions? hold-for- a-second is used for a contextual menu in mac os.
CTRL+click or click-and-
an option to choose a right-click emulation method in the mouse prefs would be resonably discoverable. (its where i would look first)
mac os (and most mac applications) are fully usable without a right click. maybe gnome _requiring_ two mouse buttons is the bug.
