A while back I reached my frustration limit while using Netbeans (a Java
Swing IDE). It was very difficult to select anything in my project tree
because the double click rate was way to fast for me (and most users I
can imagine). Changing the Double-click timeout in Ubuntu's mouse
preferences dialog did nothing to fix the issue. From what I can tell
this dialog only effects Gnome applications because the setting is
written to ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/%gconf.xml
After some research I found the solution: create .Xresources in my home
directory with the line
*multiClickTime: 400. After a log out things worked correctly.
The mouse preferences dialog should be doing this automatically to
achieve greater consistency and usability.
