[Discuss] mouse behavior

[darose at darose.net (David Rosenstrauch)]

As the OP wrote, the first issue is due to window snapping.  The second 
issue is probably due to *clicking* the map wheel when you're over a 
link, rather than rolling the wheel when you're over it.  XFCE I believe 
has a setting that clicking on a link with the wheel will visit that 
link.  It's probably configurable somewhere.  Maybe in the mouse section 
of the control panel?
