Thank you Sprague. I am using a two button plain ball PS/2 mouse. See config file below. While the mouse cursor was jumping around the screen (in gnome) I did see a hint that I am using a window manager that is incompatiable with gnome. The cursor jumps around a lot and opens applications. It is very difficult to use the mouse. I would like to use Sawfish Window Manager but I do not know how to make it the absolute default window manager. I can't use the Command Centre. Any suggestions please.
