This question may be better suited for a Fluxbox forum, but I didn't see the harm in asking here, and besides, this has been bugging me for a couple of weeks now.

Does anybody know a way to "fake" a third mouse button in fluxbox so I can partake of tab groups? I know that traditionally, clicking both Left and Right at the same time should send a "third" or "middle" button, but that doesn't seem to work for me.

I mostly run DSL embedded in Windows and both-clicking seems to bother Qemu.

I ran the utility recommened in keygrabber section the fluxbox documentation but it didn't show what I wanted it to, only showed "onclick event" or something similar.

But anyway. Anybody have any ideas?

I think it's more a qemu issue, or X issue. Fluxbox just grabs what's sent to it. Do you have 3-button emulation enabled in your .xserverrc?
