Description mikak 2001-06-01 09:09:32 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kcminput
Version:           KDE 2.1.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Mandrake 8

The mouse settings set using KDE Control Center (Peripherals/Mouse)
are not applied after logging in via kdm.

The settings are properly saved in ~/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc:
[Mouse]
Acceleration=5
MouseButtonMapping=RightHanded
Threshold=3

and they work as expected immediately after changing the settings but after logout and login the mouse is back at the default behavior and you have to go to the control center and push the "Apply" button again to get the desired setup.

Pupeno, I think you were working on cleaning this stuff up, so could you please 
take a look at this?

Comment 3 Pupeno 2003-01-11 11:53:26 UTC

I will work on fixing it. 
By now, a workarround, I think, could be if after you log in, you just run kaccess. 
It won't do anything but apply your changes to the current running XFree. I'm not sure it 
might work, but it's worth the try. 
Thanks.
