Hello.

I am running Debian 6, with GNOME 2.30.2 (I think; when I select Help-> About, with a GNOME application, that is the version number shown).

I have recently noticed a problem, with uncontrollable double (or multiple) mouse clicks, when a single click should be occurring, causing multiple problems.

In the System -> Preferences -> Mouse configuration setting utility, is an option for adjusting the timeout for mouse double clicks, but, apparently not a means of adjusting (in this case, lowering) the sensitivity, or, increasing the lag time (?) between clicks, which could (would) force the system to wait a longer (if so set) time for registering a double click; for example, adjusting a setting, so that the system would wait for 1/10 second, or, 1/2 second, before registering a double click, so that, if a user does not get the finger off the mouse button within a thousandth of a second, a double click is not registered.

Can this parameter be adjusted, so that a user is required to distinctly press the mouse button twice, after a set time, eg, 1/2 second, before a double click is registered, and, if it can be adjusted, how can it be adjusted?

Thank you in anticipation.
