This email will be followed by 7 further emails with patches, comprising
of two series:
- a series of 5 patches to metacity to allow configuration of mouse
button events. Patches against metacity-2.17.5.
Patches 1-3 are just preparatory cleanup work, with some code movement
and abstraction, with patch 4 being the real change-over, and the final
patch being a small final tweak. Patches 1-4 were sent out yesterday to
what hopefully are the proper maintainers, but I'm re-sending them all
to gnomecc-list because the _next_ series is:
- a series of 2 patches to control-center, to actually extend the
double-click configuration to also handle middle- and right-click.
The first patch is purely perparatory cleanup, the second patch has all
the real meat.
People have told me that this is clutter and unnecessary complexity. I
obviously disagree. My main laptop has a two-button mouse, and that
together with various historical reasons means that I want my right button
to do something useful. I always found the inability of the standard gnome
window manager to handle that to be a deal breaker.
So I decided to do something about it. Let's see if people are actually
interested in improving gnome, or will just complain about the horrible
complexity.
