Yeah, there's a general problem of how to present the systemwide prefs ("System Settings") vs. the per-user prefs ("Preferences"). Most people find having two menus confusing, on the other hand, you really would not want to encourage someone to change settings for every user on the system thinking they were only affecting themselves... and there's the implementation issue that you can't have one dialog where part of it runs as root and part does not. And the organizational issue that GNOME writes the Preferences and Red Hat writes the System Settings. AFAICS there is no more system wide mouse setting UI in current release. |
