Configuration of Mouse Gestures on 0.5
Update: It works fine. I had to reinstall the mouse gestures right over the top and it worked correctly this time. No idea what went wrong the first time.
=======================
So, we all know the hack to get the right-mouse button to do the work in previous versions (0.3-0.4) of phoenix, since the Mouse Gesture extension author hasn't updated the code.
It was to go into your profile directory and edit prefs.js and change
user_pref("mozgest.mousebutton", 0);
where the 0 is the left button, 1 the middle and 2 is the right one.
As of 0.5 there IS no entry called user_pref("mozgest.mousebutton",0); to change! So where do I go to change the 0 to a 2?

Are you sure? I have this entry in my prefs.js.
These entries are made by Mouse Gestures:
user_pref("mozgest.delay", 500);
user_pref("mozgest.grid", 15);
user_pref("mozgest.modifier.alt", false);
user_pref("mozgest.modifier.ctrl", false);
user_pref("mozgest.modifier.shift", false);
user_pref("mozgest.mousebutton", 2);
user_pref("mozgest.navigator", true);
Did you have no one of these? Maybe you have to reinstall Mouse Gestures.

In case you prefer to use a graphical menu to set your preferences it is possible to activate the preferences menu of mozgest by modifying a file :
$Phoenix_install_dir/chrome/mozgest/content/content.rdf
here is how i got it to work: i downloaded the mozgest extension, it told me to restart the browser. i closed the browser, and changed all the lines like this one in the file
to
and then restarted the browser.
if by accident you restart the browser before changing the file, the modification won't work anymore (it didn't for me maybe you will be lucky), all you have to do is "reinstall" the gestures extension and change the file before restarting the browser this time
hope that helps
edit :
And before anyone asks, i installed the mouse gesture extension from :
http://texturizer.net/phoenix/extensions.html
$Phoenix_install_dir/chrome/mozgest/content/content.rdf
