You need to have xmodmap, and run a script like this (from the menu, osso-statusbar-cpu, or whatever):

Code:

#!/bin/sh
xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 3 1"
sleep 5
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3"

That sets it to do a middle click when you single click for the next 5 seconds, then sets it back. You can get right-click the same way, but change the first mapping to 3 2 1.

On consideration, you undoubtedly have xmodmap on the server, so you might run it there.
