** Description changed: 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 best way, it's added this parameter in the file + /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common. (see my comment of the 2007-07-26) + The mouse preferences dialog should be doing this automatically to achieve greater consistency and usability.
