Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mousetweaks

Expectation:
---------------
An option in Ubuntu's mouse accessibility panel for locked dragging. Ie, if on, 
a click and drag gesture is active until you tap a second time.

Current reality:
------------------
There is no such option in 10.04 or 10.10 in the mouse accessibility panel. 

This is an essential feature for many disabled users, an example is
here: <http://askubuntu.com/q/24558/8515>. The closest I've come to
replicating the desired behaviour is with evdev's DragLockButtons, which
sacrifices a mouse button and requires twice as many clicks.
Incidentally, the synaptics driver has LockedDrags which is exactly what
I want, but for a normal mouse or trackball. It looks like mousetweak5
implements, or is supposed to implement, this feature.
