Ah! I thought System Preferences' "Keyboard & Mouse" did that, but I 
see that I have mapped the middle button using  Exposé's preference. 
IMHO the ideal way to handle changing the behaviour of the middle 
button is in the o/s (well window manager), alleviating the necessity 
for each mouse manufacturer to write, supply & maintain their own 
driver, but of course I can see why some do so, if Apple fail to supply 
useful functionality such as you describe.

My apologies,
