I do agree that the issue should be handled in Gnome, not the
individual apps. Being that, Shotwell is my primary Gnome app and I
would be content to remain in KDE and use Shotwell there should this
be available directly in Shotwell.

In fact, this issue has kept our household on Digikam for years,
instead of moving (back) to F-Spot.

Yes, they suggested that I bring it up on the gtk-dev list, which I
got around to doing just today.

I have used such a mouse. I think that three buttons is already too
much, I am not about to stick a forth on there! I'd actually love to
play with a single-buttoned rodent like the fruit company has.
