middle button emulation (left+right=middle) is provided by the X-server, 
which does not exist at all on Windows. If you want the same feature on 
Windows, you need to check for both buttons manually yourself (that is 
better for GNU/Linux also, since not all X-windows configurations 
are guaranteed to have middle button emulation enabled)
