I like Denis' version better, but that may just be
me. In any case, the tab layout needs to be integrated
in the glade mockup, so which of the two we start from
doesn't matter terribly much.

Isn't that what the standard X sensitivity (threshold)
option does? Do we need it twice? What's the
difference?

Er, I sincerely hope this does not depend on the pointer
being "a cross" (whatever that means). You are aware that
pointer themes can turn the cursor into whatever they like,
right? Or does MouseTweaks set the pointer itself?

Yes, control-center maintainers are reading this list.

As soon as we can agree on a design. I'm not aware of any
summit in the near future that could be used for face-to-face
discussions.

No. If we (g-c-c maintainers) and you (MT devs) agree that
MouseTweaks should not be a separate module, but included
in g-c-c, then basically your proposal is moot, and we'll
just add MouseTweaks integration as an item on the g-c-c
roadmap for 2.22.
