Re: left hand mouse

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Hi Roberto:

On my system (running Gnome 2.6 also), this setting is in the 
'Preferences->Desktop Preferences->Mouse' dialog.  Selecting "Left hand 
mouse" works fine for me.

I have no idea what is going on with your keyboard issue, but it sounds 
as though the system is misconfigured at the system level (i.e. "lower 
down" than KDE or Gnome).
