I didn't find that, exactly; Universal Access offered only KMouseTool and KMouth. But I had had the former up, so I launched it again, and found a Defaults button. That seems to have eliminated the bedbuggery, which may well have been "Hover Click" under another name. (I don't do KDE, and this machine may be running either xfce or Gnome Shell; I tend to get one machine confused with another, like saying Walther when you mean Wolfram.) Many many thanks! I'd've been crazier than ary bedbug if I had a whole afternoon with that madness. -- Beartooth Sciurivore, Curmudgeon On Line Viruses, trojans, and spyware, Oh My! -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
