I was going to submit this as a bug report but it might be closer to a <span style="font-style: italic;">"feature and policy"</span> issue so I'll try here first:<br><br>Today I reached my frustration limit while using Netbeans (a Java Swing IDE). It was very difficult to select anything in my project tree because the double click rate was way to fast for me (and most users I can imagine). Changing the Double-click timeout in Ubuntu's mouse preferences dialog did nothing to fix the issue. From what I can tell this dialog only effects Gnome
applications because the setting is written to ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/%gconf.xml<br><br>After some research I found the solution: create .Xresources in my home directory with the line<br>*multiClickTime: 400. After a log out things worked correctly.
<br><br>Is there any compelling reason why the double-click timeout setting cannot be applied to X as well?<br><br>Thanks.<br>- Adam<br>
