You can go one step further and bind events to your mouse
buttons with gpm. So middle clicking could do 'shutdown -r now'
or 'reset' or whatever.
out of the man page:
SPECIAL COMMANDS
Version 1.10 adds the capability to execute special com-
mands on certain circumstances. Special commands default
to rebooting and halting the system, but the user can
specify his/her personal choice. The capability to invoke
commands using the mouse is a handy one for programmers,
because it allows to issue a clean shutdown when the key-
board is locked and no network is available to restore the
system to a sane state.
Special commands are toggled by triple-clicking the left
and right button -- an unlikely event during normal mouse
usage. The easiest way to triple-click is pressing one of
the buttons and triple-click the other one. When special
processing is toggled, a message appears on the console
(and the speaker beeps twice, if you have a speaker); if
the user releases all the buttons and presses one of them
again within three seconds, then the special command cor-
responding to the button is executed.

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
