Is it possible to perform a "right click drag" with a Magic Trackpad? What gestures/settings do I need to accomplish this?

I have the same problem sharing magic tracpad using synergy. When you tap down with two fingers and lift its a right click, two fingers and hold its a scroll.

What works is two fingers, then press down hard enough to engage the physical mouse button built into the feet.

In Windows 7 under Parallels I can right-drag with the Magic Trackpad by clicking and dragging with two fingers. I can also click with two fingers and continue dragging with one to get a right drag. I don't think OSX has a right-drag.
