[Bug 362500] Re: Mouseemu swallows events for extended keyboard keys, e.g. multimedia keys

[L. Rayhen]

I have attached dpatch to fix this bug. If you want to use it you need
to put it in debian/patches and add the patch to 00list then run  dpkg-
buildpackage -b.

This patch adds real support for multimedia keys, so you actually can
use them for right or middle-click for example (or use them as usually).
Now I finally can use my large button-less touchpad only and forget
about mouse. My problem was that my touchpad is unable to send middle-
click or perform right-click-drag'n'drop and this motivated me to fix
this bug. Now I can use multimedia key on my keyboard for sending
middle-click and another multimedia key for right-click (for doing
drag'n'drop with right "mouse" button). And of course use all other
multimedia keys, mouseemu does not "swollow" them anymore (with my patch
applied).
