But it's really hard to get used to "click" after more than a decade of using sloppy :( Seems to be a known upstream bug for quite a long timenow: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597190 and there is also a new dup for this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647232 btw. Seems not to be a gnome3 problem only, since Ubuntu 11.04 with unity has the same problem if you use "sloppy". -- chris
