Description Young-Ho Cha 2002-06-14 05:50:13 UTC 
When I check "Left-handed mouse" checkbox, 

desktop mouse property changes  instantly.

and I want to cancel checkbox, but property

is set with left handed mouse, so must left click.

However most people are confused.

right handed mouse users are used right-handed only.

(even if property changed)

so I propose "Left-handed mouse" check box can handle 

both of right and left click.

Absolutely, I agree with this.

Enclosed you will find a patch to fix this bug, all it is missing is
hooking the acccesibility relationship between the label and the
custom , I'd have to learn the atk stuff but it is kinda late, so this
is the current patch, i'll try updating it with the atk stuff in there
too.

patch->high. I thought we'd already done something to fix this, though?
Comment 5 Jody Goldberg 2002-07-10 15:45:54 UTC 
Good idea, this is simpler.
I've applied something similar.
