As we are working with the people of gnome control center to turn the mousetweaks preferences (gui to enable and configure 2 of the 3 features) into the accessibility tab of the Mouse capplet, I enhanced the file /usr/share/gnome/help/control-center/C/config-mouse.xml with some documentation about the features provided by mousetweaks. Please have a look at comments 14, 15, 16 and 19 of the following thread: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503547 Based on what I explained in comment 19 of the preceding thread, should I add the documentation about the features provided by mousetweaks to goscustdesk.xml? Thanks in advance for the reply. Francesco _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
