The gconf setting /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/drag_threshold might
be interesting to check out.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

In the design of cryptosystems, we must design something *now* for use
in the future. We have only the published facts of the past to stand
against all the secret research of the past and future for as long as
a cipher is used. It is therefore necessary to speculate on future
capabilities. It is *not* acceptable to wait for a published attack
before a weakness is considered in cipher design. It is instead
necessary to try to perceive weaknesses which have not yet contributed
to full attacks, and close them off.
