Thank you for the link to gnome bugzilla, this is all reasonable.
Although implementing this would at first need the correct gconf key and
mouse properties to change that. There is not much point in making this
setting application wise.

Have you brought this idea up in Gnome accessibility team? They would
probably give this bug more love.


BTW, have you seen some of these cute mouses with special double-click
button, marked with 2×. Over here in Estonia these are sold to older
people with less computer experience, and these are really handy.

Although this does not fix the issue, it may be a handy gadget. I
sometimes wish I had one of these.
