On a related note, Does anyone know how to further modify mouse behavior
so that it's "airplane style" i.e. moving the mouse down moves the mouse
cursor up. I've got a left handed family member who would very much like
to use Linux, (with IceWM of course) But this limitation is irritating
for him.
Windows will only do it with additional mouse drivers, so I assume it's
not a very common thing to want. Most southpaws are happy with the
buttons being reversed. Any pointers?

Thanks.
