Personally I'm not convinced about right click to centre: the right
button dragging thing is supposed to be like a normal "canvas drag"
operation, and I can't think of any other application implementing such
operations (ghostview, acroread etc.) which behaves in the way
suggested.  (Not that I'm suggesting that the current behaviour is much
good either!)

Things like this really need to be customisable by the user -- then the
PDA problem goes away...
