Today I've met another user on IRC (he might already
have contacted you, too) who tried to use a binding for two
mousebuttons pressed at the same time. xbindkeys doesn't support
it, well, personally I never missed that feature. But I've tried
his suggested syntax

"command"
b:2 + b:3

and - surprise - after trying a bit (while it run "command" even
on button 2 only) it managed to crash my xserver. and actually
I've not been able to startx again without removing the wrong
line from my ~/.xbindkeysrc - I'm using awesome as WM (and
actually it has some mousebutton-bindings too, so the crash might
just be a conflict with that) if that matters.

This doesn't hurt me at all, I don't use mousebutton bindings
(I am more a keyboard-lover) - but I think crashing X is still
a bug that should not happen. Maybe it just should printout
an error or ignore combinations not possible.

However, this bug has very low priority to me. Do not understand
this mail as a complainment, I'm really happy with xbindkeys
as it is, I just thought you might want to know about this
unexpected behaviour :)
