Hello,

What about using the last picture of revision 34 
of page [2] to start the discussion of the 
mousetweaks tab? In fact, the layout [1] is not 
correct anymore, as the "enable mouse a11y" 
checkbox has been removed as suggested on your 
page [1].

In layout [1], the ignore little movements slider is missing.

Moreover, in layout [1], the "Click automatically 
when stopping pointer movement" might suggest 
that each time the pointer stops, an automatic 
click is performed. This is true for clicking 
with click type window, but not for clicking with 
gestures.

In fact, in clicking with gestures, the click is 
only performed if the user does the gesture when 
the shape of the pointer is a cross. If the user 
moves the pointer while its shape is the usual 
arrow, he can move the pointer without any click 
happening.


A few more general questions:

- Are there any people of the HIG reading this list?

- Are there any people that maintain the mouse capplet reading this list?

- When and how will the decision be taken about 
what layout will ship with GNOME 2.22? On a 
Summit?

- Mousetweaks is still in the module proposal process; could this be a problem?

Cheers

Francesco
