+<title>Adjust the double-click speed</title>
+
+<p>Double-clicking only happens when you press the mouse button twice
+quickly enough. If the second press is too long after the first, you'll
+just get two separate clicks, not a double click. If you have difficulty
+pressing the mouse button so quickly, you should increase the timeout.</p>
+
+<steps>
+  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Click <gui>Mouse and Touchpad</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Under <gui>Double-Click Timeout</gui>, adjust the <gui>Timeout</gui>
+  slider to a value you find comfortable. Use the smiley face under the slider
+  to test your settings. A single click will make it smile. A double-click will
+  give it an ear-to-ear grin.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+<note>
+<p>If your mouse double-clicks when you want it to single-click
+even though you have increased the double-click timeout, 
+your mouse may be faulty. Try plugging a different mouse into your computer 
+and see if that works properly. Alternatively, plug your mouse into a 
+different computer and see if it still has the same problem.

-  <p>You can customize the minimum distance required for a drag-and-drop action:</p>
+  <p>When you click something, it's not uncommon for your hand to move
+  a little between the time you press the mouse button and the time you
+  release it. For this reason, dragging only starts if you move the pointer
+  past a certain threshold, so that you don't accidentally start dragging
+  every time you click. You can control the minimum distance required
+  to start dragging.</p>

+<title>Adjust speed of the mouse and touchpad</title>

+  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Click <gui>Mouse and Touchpad</gui>.</p></item>
+  <item><p>Adjust the <gui>Acceleration</gui> and <gui>Sensitivity</gui> sliders
+  until the pointer motion is comfortable for you. Sensitivity is how much your
+  pointer initially moves when you move your mouse. The father you move your
+  mouse, the faster and faster the pointer moves relative to your movement.
+  This helps you get the pointer across the screen without lifting your hand,
+  while still letting you point and click accurately. Acceleration controls
+  this behavior.</p></item>

-    The meaning of Sensitivity isn't clear. It doesn't seem to do anything on my 
-    computer.

+<note style="tip">
+  <p>You can set the sensitivity and acceleration differently for your mouse
+  and touchpad. Sometimes the most comfortable settings for one type of
+  device aren't the most comfortable for another. Just set the sliders on
+  both the <gui>Mouse</gui> and <gui>Touchpad</gui> tabs.</p>
