What have you tried? In Gnome, you can try System --> Preferences
--> Hardware --> Mouse - it works for me.
Just for clarity, Lawrence already reported that this problem is on F11
Preview. I was able to duplicate the problem on my system. I tested it
to make sure, even though I am not left handed.

...That wound up sounding like a line from a favorite movie of mine. :)

There's more to this than meets the eye, I just tried on fc11 and it worked fine for me, and instantly. I clicked left-handed and had to right click to exit the pop-up. That machine hasn't been updated in 12 hours or so, but it's relatively current.

I just did the system->pref->mouse thing. I looked at the top post in this and it wasn't clear if the choice wasn't offered or it didn't work:

   "I am still not able to choose left-handed or right-handed at mouse
   control."

I think there was an earlier post on this to the testing list, it sounds familiar.

... and I'll bet you're not left-handed either! :)

Seriously, I think you could be right. I just tried this on my laptop
using my external mouse, and then tried it again using my laptop's
touchpad / mouse buttons. I have the rawhide updates as of this morning.

Results: The touchpad worked instantly - just as your mouse did. But the
external mouse didn't change at all. I even logged off and then back on
and the external mouse (a Microsoft USB Presenter Mouse) remained in
right-handed mode while the laptop touchpad buttons were in left-handed
mode.

Well if I have helped to clarify things I'm happy. At least now you can do a really good and clear bugreport, and with the extra info to help reproduce the problem developers may be able to help you quickly.

Good luck with that one.
