That would be nice, but I'd probably prefer to have a UI that I could use without a three-button mouse...

Then you can either settle on Windows or OS X, I guess.

My X Windows is a bit rusty, but I remember most managers use all three buttons.

Most modern managers don't, or at least do not assume you have a middle mouse button.

The real issue for me is laptop trackpads. It's impossible to use Plan 9 (or derived works) with one in a natural fashion.
