Are you using my gerbview_gal branch and testing with gerbview?  That is
the only place where this feature is enabled.   If you would like to test
it outside of that branch, change m_panWithRightButton to true and rebuild.

I don't have a Windows laptop to test with at the moment, but I would
believe that the behavior of trackpads is different -- this will only work
if (like Apple trackpads) the trackpad translates a "press with two
fingers, then drag" as a "right button drag" event.
