Indeed; you might have a look at this link: http://live.gnome.org/Boston2007/AccessibilitySummit/Summary?highlight=%28boston%29 > + it seems the consensus is that it has to be integrated in > gnome-control-center (it might already be the case) In fact, mousetweaks consists of: * a daemon that does the real work of feature 2 and 3 * two panel applets: the first can be used with feature 3; the second provides feature 1 * a gui (=mousetweaks preferences panel) to enable and configure feature 2 and 3 Unfortunately, the efforts to integrate mousetweaks completely into the gnome-control-center were not successful. While the gui is probably becoming the accessibility tab of the Mouse capplet, it was not possible for the mousetweaks coder (Gerd Kohlberger) to find a way to also integrate the mousetweaks daemon into the gnome control center (gnome-settings-daemon to be more precise). See messages 0 and 6 of the thread in bugzilla with the patches for the gnome control center: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503547 Consequently, the proposal of mousetweaks to become a new module of GNOME is still valid; only that now the mousetweaks module consists of the daemon and the panel applets without the mousetweaks gui. I have set up a few pages about mousetweaks on GNOME Live.
