	I didn't find that, exactly; Universal Access offered only 
KMouseTool and KMouth. But I had had the former up, so I launched it 
again, and found a Defaults button. That seems to have eliminated the 
bedbuggery, which may well have been "Hover Click" under another name. (I 
don't do KDE, and this machine may be running either xfce or Gnome Shell; 
I tend to get one machine confused with another, like saying Walther when 
you mean Wolfram.) Many many thanks! I'd've been crazier than ary bedbug 
if I had a whole afternoon with that madness.
