Problem with mouse response to double-click

mikeinpcb,     
In LXDE you need to use the LXDE mouse settings, not openbox settings.     
Menu > More Applications > Configuration > LXKeyboard and Mouse     

Other settings in obconf, like the theme, are useful.

None of what has been posted so far seems to solve the original problem:- how to change the mouse click interval for double clicks.

A wider search (i.e. google) gave me several leads but none applicable to our version of LXDE.  The one on the LXDE.org forum suggests it can be done using lxinput, and although that is installed it seems to be a rudimetary version - at least I cannot find any editable file that includes mouse parameters.

However the other method does seem to work!

Add the line:-

gtk-double-click-time=1000

to the file .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory, and reboot.

Howard,     
LXKeyboard and Mouse (in the menu) is lxinput.

Code: [Select]

LXKeyboard and Mouse (in the menu) is lxinput.     
That's the gui that enables editing the values - but where are they stored?  Anyway mouse click interval isn't one of the parameters here.

I also noticed that the Linux mouse commands are not available, that would do it.  (Try man getmouse)

Still, the gtk method actually works so the problem is solved!
