If you mean that the right click menu had worked before
but it lost the function recently, then my patch may do
something wrong.  Otherwise, it is better to confirm
EMC works well.  A good experiment is to run EMC on
another X server (e.g. XFree on Linux).  You can also
use xev and xmodmap to debug.  Note that the right
button is button 3 on X.

My patch enables remapping among mouse buttons; for
example, you can exchange left and right buttons.
However, assigning arbitrary keys to mouse buttons is
beyond X server's responsibility.  Please configure
EMC as you like or find a tool to assign it.
