It is an accessibility issue: for example, the onscreen keyboard that ships by default with Ubuntu toggles the left handedness gconf key to let the users that can only use one mouse button perform secondary clicks. But it does not work because of the issue described above.
As a work around, I assume that these users can keep the Mouse control panel open to toggle the handedness of the mouse. -- Left handed mouse settings no longer working after system update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426675 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
