I feel your pain. The two ways I have found are AutoHotKey scripts,
which is a really hacky method, and True X-Mouse[1].
TXMouse is better in some ways, but there are still disadvantages:
1) middle click will not work for some things, like opening links in a
new tab in FF/SM
2) TXMouse brings in classic X Windows focus behaviour -
Focus follows mouse, and optional autoraise
Some people like that focus style. Personally, I hate it unless
I am using a tiling WM, which isn't avalible on Windows
Also, in Win7 the systray popup is disconnected from the taskbar,
so it is a real pain to use it with focus follows mouse.
