Thanks Jon!  This is a great example.  This is pretty much what I was 
angling for in suggesting a separate preference pane.

I don't think that this is overkill.  It keeps things clearly 
disambiguated and gives a nice location to add additional potential 
mouse actions.  It also prevents users from mapping actions to the mouse 
events that can't be handled.
