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"
