What a ridiculous software that I have to waste hours trying to do what should be available as a simple option.
How do you make middle-clicking a link load in background, please.

Go to Edit -> Preference menu. Select "Config" option and "Accelerators" tab.
You can see this code;

# ----- Link Handling

# Middle-click links to new windows/layers:
%ifplugin layers
MButton = layers(OpenLink)
%else
MButton = ID_OPEN_LINK_IN_NEW_WINDOW
%endif

# Middle-click links to the background (instead of the above):
#%ifplugin layers
#MButton = layers(OpenLinkBg) 
#%else
#MButton = ID_OPEN_LINK_IN_BACKGROUND
#%endif

Change this lines for;

# ----- Link Handling

# Middle-click links to new windows/layers:
#%ifplugin layers
#MButton = layers(OpenLink)
#%else
#MButton = ID_OPEN_LINK_IN_NEW_WINDOW
#%endif

# Middle-click links to the background (instead of the above):
%ifplugin layers
MButton = layers(OpenLinkBg) 
%else
MButton = ID_OPEN_LINK_IN_BACKGROUND
%endif

Note that only change '#' character at begining lines.
Press OK, you must restart K-Meleon for changes can be applied.

Greetings.

Thanks very much desga2. It has put an end to my frustration. This really should just be an option in the menus.

I think that it should be implemented on new versions as the default settings.

I always use it that way and so it's implemented on my custom spanish patch.
