This is not a windowmanager problem. Use xmodmap to switch the order
of the buttons. The first example in the xmodmap man page covers this
issue:
EXAMPLES
Many pointers are designed such that the first button is
pressed using the index finger of the right hand. People
who are left-handed frequently find that it is more com
fortable to reverse the button codes that get generated so
that the primary button is pressed using the index finger
of the left hand. This could be done on a 3 button
pointer as follows:
% xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
