You wouldn't believe how basic it can get. The most prominent example is the 
Microsoft patent on double-clicking:

You might also want to check other patents on that page. My favorites are 
page-up-page-down patent, progress bar patent, popup window patent, and --- 
the mother of all patents --- the *wheel* ! :-)

Going by the name "circular transportation facilitation device", the wheel 
patent was approved by Australian patent office in May 2001. Here is a report:

Have fun! :-)
