Just thought that I'd throw my first two cents in since joining the
list...I've had similar problems w/ gnome and found a solution using the
'xset' program.  I know that you can use it to set many of the option in the
x server, but I've only used it to adjust the mouse settings.  If you load
up an xterm and type:

$xset m 5 7

the "m" is for mouse settings and I believe that the two following numbers
are for the threshold and acceleration.  I know that in gnome, you can set
these via the gnome control panel, but I've found that using xset give you a
bit more control.  You can just play with the two numbers and see if you can
find a setting that works well for you.  Once you find a setting, just have
write a little script that runs this command upon gnome startup.  Then you
won't have to do it manually every time you start up X.

Subject: [TCLUG] mouse movement


having just recently switched from Windows, I'm still not liking the way the
mouse moves in Gnome.  I've tried adjusting all of the settings (all 2 of
them), but I can't seem to get the movement to the way I like it, which is
sad to say, Windows-like.  Is there anywhere I can go to find more settings
that aren't included in the Control Center?  I'm using E if that makes a
difference.  I think I just really don't like the threshold settings.  It
seems too erratic for me.  Even with it set as high as it goes.  thanks in
advance
