extra 1~ added into front of middle button capture on ibook using Xorg not in gpm

Hi,
I noticed recently when i try to copy paste 
using F10 to emulate the middle mouse 
on my ibook g4 running debian sid
that if I am in the standard terminal all is ok. 

However under Xorg in any application
even though I have set

# from http://pierre.baudu.in/ibook/
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation=1
# F10
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode=68
# F11
dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode=87

in /etc/sysct.conf

when i push F10 after highlighting
date
it prints out
1~date

while if i push F11 I get it to print out
3~ something.

what is the 1~ comming from and how can i get rid 
of it.

Interesting, if i use a usb mouse on the machine
then the middle button works fine there..


Thus it seems only to be a Xorg problem. Anyone know a solution?

Thanks
