I've been looking for that. I used to use it and also two pair of
eyes (bottom and left panels) under Gnome 2, but I haven't managed to
find either.
I also have gnome-tweak-tool -- which gives me a screenful or two
of error messages when I invoke it, but mine seems not to have any idea
that there is such a thing as a mouse. :-{
I see the image of a two-handled mug with mouse, calculator,
gnome foot, etc., and a pair of eyes looking up at them. but I can't find
any mouse settings under any of the rubrics.

It was, yes, decidedly -- when I once got to it. So were the
panel eyes: they track the cursor, and with two pair you can navigate by
the seat of your pants to the intersection, and usually spot the cursor
there.
