Dotan,

The following workaround may help:

Edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/mousekeys

Locate the following section:

    interpret Pointer_Button_Dflt {
        action= PointerButton(button=default);
    };

Change the action line to:

        action= PointerButton(button=default,count=2);

Then restart Gnome and see if it works.  I know that will work if you
use mousekeys (to control the mouse via the keyboard), but not if it
will work with a normal mouse.  I would check, but I can't use a mouse.

Best,
