Of course ideally a user would have the same flexibility to configure mouse-buttons as with shortcuts, eg single/double/tripple click with modifier X in context Y would cause action Z.
That kind of thinking is exactly why most common users are staying away from Linux. Users generally don't want an overload of options. They want sensible defaults, with preferences to change common things. And maybe would you then add an advanced preferences thing where you would cater for the 1% of the users that wants to configure everything themselves ;)
