etc.

You have to correlate this with what you do. But, for example, you 
should see button_1 and Ctrl_L  appearing when you press them.

My guess is that something in Gnome is trapping Ctrl-click. Could it be 
bound to something in the window-manager?

Try either:

1)look carefully through the advanced config options in gnome.

2)Test with KDE.  [It's better, anyway ;-) ]

3)Try, as a test, some very simple window manager like icewm, and see 
whether you can ctrl-click as you expect.
