well, we MUST eliminate all uses of the middle button which cannot be 
done without the middle click, for example these (now fixed) lists where 
mid/right click is used for changing numbers

but we can still use the mid-click to make life easier for those people 
who have a middle button. we just must not make life harder for those 
who haven't

and midclick-erase makes life easier for me, but not harder for another one

it's VERY flawed atm, maybe even an unintended remains
i think we should make it behave as mentioned before, making it remove 
the event under the mouse button
