Your average desktop environment has a way to configure it per user with persistent storage for the value.

There's always taking the default, which seems sensible enough to me for ordinary usage. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
