This is kinda an odd problem, maybe with a fun solution. I hope.

The context: My laptop, a Dell D420, has a touchpad and a trackpoint, each with dedicated left and right-click buttons. The left button associated with the touchpad is broken, so I use the buttons associated with the trackpoint. I still use the touchpad to move the cursor.

The problem: Sometime during the Maverick development cycle, I stopped being able to click and drag using the combination of the left trackpoint button and touchpad. That is, I can't click on a window title and then move the window. The cursor just reverts instantly to the regular arrow as soon as I move it. However, I can click and drag if I use the trackpoint.

What I'd like to do is somehow be able to click and drag with the touchpad again. As it is, I've stuck with Lucid, but I don't want to do that forever.
