A simple question, but I can't find the answer.

How do you change the double click speed for the mouse? I've recently installed DSL for a neighbour and his reactions are not what they once were.

Cheers,

Ok so I've made a tiny bit of progress on this.

Within the file ~dsl/.fluxbox/init there is a line as follows:
session.doubleClickInterval: 250

I believe that the window manager controls the double click speed in X so this could be what I'm after. Unfortunately, changing the number above to 2500 and restarting X makes no difference.

Any ideas?

edit - I've now found out that the above affects the double click speed of the window manager extras. For example, it affects the double click speed when clicking on the title border of the window. What I would like to be able to do is change the double click speed for all applications (and especially Emelfm). Will carry on investigating unless anyone can suggest anything.

Did you try something like: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2000/05/msg03693.html ?
Not sure if it works with the tinyx servers included in DSL though.

I have never had a need or desire to research this subject, so this should be taken as observation rather than fact.

I think there is no centralized double-click interval setting. Applications individually respond to events in their own way. The reason KDE and Gnome (and Windows, I assume) have this apparently universal setting is because they tend to share settings among applications that use the same toolkit (KDE with Qt apps, Gnome with Gtk apps).

Didn't work

Thanks for replying though.

I've been playing around with .gtkrc as I've come across this:
http://mail.gnome.org/archive....61.html

Unfortunately, I can't find a manual on .gtkrc to show the format of this file. At least the ones I have come across never mention this as an option.
