Win98SE (Puke!) on both server and client. Both are set
via mouse control panel for left-handed mouse.

The client flips the buttons and treats it like a
right-handed mouse.

I haven't delved into the source, but I suspect this is
a double-jeopardy thing: The server computer is
sending swapped buttons which the client computer then
swaps again like a good little Windoze box and fouls it
all up. I don't think it really either Windoze' or
Synergy's fault, just an unforseen circumstance. The
obvious work-around it to change the client back to
"right-handed", and that ony gets confusing for a
moment when the server freezes and I have to go back to
the hardware KVM.

both the win32 and X11 clients are incorrectly swapping
buttons. in both cases the OS does the swapping for us
which is undesired. the next release will have a fix where
the clients pre-swap to counteract the OS swapping.

Problem Solved!

Confirmed that it now works fine with Win98SE server and
client, both set to left-handed mouse. Thanks!
