	I've been looking for that. I used to use it and also two pair of 
eyes (bottom and left panels) under Gnome 2, but I haven't managed to 
find either.

	I also have gnome-tweak-tool -- which gives me a screenful or two 
of error messages when I invoke it, but mine seems not to have any idea 
that there is such a thing as a  mouse. :-{

	I see the image of a two-handled mug with mouse, calculator, 
gnome foot, etc., and a pair of eyes looking up at them. but I can't find 
any mouse settings under any of the rubrics.

	It was, yes, decidedly -- when I once got to it. So were the 
panel eyes: they track the cursor, and with two pair you can navigate by 
the seat of your pants to the intersection, and usually spot the cursor 
there.
