Change your mouse settings. That will help a lot. Aaron gave some suggestions to someone else on the list a month or two ago. Digging through the archives should turn it up. His advice is almost certainly geared toward KDE, but it'll apply to them all. I don't think you're alone in having this complaint. It's about like fonts under X a couple of years back, from what I see. It works, and it works well, but it takes some tweaking, because the default sucks.
