From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Mouse configuration under Red Hat Linux 8 tends to be a bit ambiguous because there are two applications that control the mouse. gnome-mouse-properties redhat-config-mouse Having a tab under gnome-mouse-properties that contains the same information as redhat-config-mouse, _OR_ a simple button that would spawn redhat-config-mouse for them would help eliminate this ambiguity. The tab option could be feasible if the application were modified to detect whether the user had root level privileges. Otherwise, the option would be grayed out or unavailable.

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.
