Problem with Trackpad on PowerBook G3 Series
Somwhow, X thinks that I pressed the "mouse" button, then it sticks, eventhough I repeatedly press it. Eventually it returns to normal

This could be a problem with a feature of the newer (2.2.X) kernels that support trackpad tapping. There is another Ben H. masterpiece that will allow you to turn off trackpad tapping at:
http://calvaweb.calvacom.fr/bh40/trackpad_tool.tar.gz
After compiling the program, I stored the executable in /sbin, and placed the following command in /etc/rc.local to get executed every startup:
/sbin/trachpad notap

btw, that's 'trackpad notap' not trachpad notap.
Also, to stop trackpad tap from starting every time you wake your 'book from sleep, make a copy of /etc/power/pwrctl called pwrctl-local , and under
  wakeup)  add the lines:
  trackpad notap
  ;;   

make sure you add the ;; under trackpad notap, or your system will behave VERY strangely after waking up.
your welcome.
