I've looked through the options. I must have overlooked the option for
mouse drag type. Anyway, such a overlook doesn't make my other opinions
invalid. I wasn't exactly "complaining". I was giving a
suggestion/opinion. The lack of stronger suggestions and opinions are the
reason for the application department in linux to do so awful. Too much
carelessness, too much forking, and too much reinventing the
wheel. Anyway, this isn't really the place for such a
discussion.  :) Carry on.
