[Daniel van Vugt <vanvugt@xxxxxxxxx>]

This bug is only a problem when there is multitouch geis/grail code
active, which is unity. When there is no such multitouch code active
then the "normal" 3 finger click support in Xorg works. So the bug does
not happen in regular Gnome (Ubuntu Classic) and KDE. If Unity-2D is
safe too then that's good news.

Note the simple workaround that Alex mentioned in the Bug Description,
so you can kind-of use middle click in Unity still.

Also note, you can a full fix for natty from ppa:vanvugt/unity

That is the fix currently being discussed and refined for release.

Bug description:
  as soon as i put down three fingers, the love handles appear. on the
  macbook pro a middle click is done with a 3 finger click. this is very
  low priority, and i could even see a wontfix. there's a simple work
  around to just not put all 3 fingers down at the same time and then
  click after all 3 are down.
