[Bug 337068] [NEW] Middle clicking non background area rotates cube

[Kristopher Ives]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I enjoy the ability to middle click my background and start rotating the cube, since usually some
part of my background is visible. I have noticed before the upgrade to Intrepid this only worked
when clicking the background, which I believe was caught by nautilus.

With Intrepid came some obvious changes to how this works. Now, not only does the cube rotation
begin when clicking the background with a middle click, but sometimes other GUI elements as well. Which
elements these are or how a user is supposed to understand is not clear, and even if it was clear should
warrant a different setting. Not all users that want to click their background want to also use certain
GUI elements for the same feature.

I am convinced this is a bug and nobody actually wants things to start rotating when they click a
GUI element, but if that is the case I think it should be separated from the existing setting for
rotating on background click.

Examples of places you can click to see this:
 * Open Rhythmbox and middle click between the "Artist" and "Album" lists. The same behaviour is also
   visible if you click the areas of the progress bar that are not part of the graphic.
 * Click the gnome-power-manager icon and select details about your battery, then click slightly below
   the title bar of the shown window.
 * Open gnome-system-monitor and click various areas on any of the pages, all of them have some areas that
   do this.
