a mac mouse (single button) to ps2. This should work fine as you'd probably
set things up physically so that the mouse couldn't be changed.

Hehe.. yeah, the joys of trying to get the the middle button and scroll wheel
enable on a serial mouse in yester-year. Unfortunately... I want to keep the
scroll of the mouse as its handy, I just wanted to disable buttons 2 and 3.
After some more searching with fvwm, it seems that you can not actually block
clicks from application windows... You can grab the click and perform an
action based on its context, but the click is forwarded on to the application
(if in that context) as well.
