Hi, I've now created a launchpad project for mousetweaks. It can be found on https://launchpad.net/mousetweaks The current stable release is 0.2.2. You can also checkout trunk which contains a lot of changes and should work better with GDM. Cheers, Gerd. _______________________________________________ Gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
