xmodmap map key to right mouse click.

hi,

I'm trying to get a key mapped as right mouse button. I'm using a macbook 
which obviously lacks this button. I'd like to use the right apple key as 
right mouse button and I've read dozens of pages stating that I can use 
xmodmap in a way like this :

xmodmap -e "keycode 116 = Pointer_Button3"

After using xev, this key shows "Pointer_Button3" but it doesn't trigger a 
right mouse button event.

Anyone having an idea how to make it work ?

Regards,
Marcel
