        <para> A three button mouse can be useful when you are running
        &rekonq; or any other &kde; application. If your mouse only has two buttons
        then you should be able to set your system up so that you can simulate a a middle mouse button by pressing both buttons at the same time.
        </para>
        <para>If you are used to having to double-click to perform an action,
        then take care, because in common with the rest of &kde;, &rekonq; defaults
        to single-clicking.
