Comment 18 for bug 196277

Dear Larry, thank you for the suggestions. I have tried it and in fact
it works as it did the setting of the typing speed under Gutsy: It is
(and was) not a great solution, in that it decreases to a very little
level the "jumping" of the cursor, provided that the rate is set very
high. You solution is better than the previous because the applet had a
limit of 300 for the rate, and instead with your script I can set it to
500 and it seems better!

I have a related question: I have tried to set the two keys using
gconf-editor, but it does not seem to work; and I have noticed that the
two keys (rate and delay) are classified as "having no schema": What
does it mean?

Thank you in advance,

Franco Sirovich
