Description Sebastien Bacher 2009-10-21 16:14:15 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/441642

"gnome-control-center 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu3

The "locate pointer" checkbox in System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies -> Mouse Accessibility window can't be checked. It is active (with white background), but it remains unchecked when you click on it."
Comment 1 Jens Granseuer 2009-10-23 16:50:35 UTC 
I can't reproduce that locally. Any custom g-s-d patches?
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2009-10-28 12:43:44 UTC 
No, but:

gsd-mouse-manager.c:                args[0] = "/usr/libexec/gsd-locate-pointer";

it should respect the --libexecdir configure option
Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2009-10-30 18:06:28 UTC 
Um, yeah, I guess that could explain it...
