31
<para>If you have difficulty double-clicking, you can increase
32
the period of time that the system allows to elapse between the first click
33
and the second click of a double-click. For example, if the double-click timeout
34
setting is 0.4 seconds, you must perform the second click of a double-click
35
within 0.4 seconds of the first click. If the second click occurs more than
36
0.4 seconds after the first click, the system interprets the two clicks as
37
two single clicks. </para>

42
<para>Click on the <guilabel>Buttons</guilabel> tab in the <guilabel>Mouse Preferences</guilabel> dialog.</para>
45
<para>Use the <guilabel>Timeout</guilabel> slider to specify the
46
timeout in seconds that the system allows between the two clicks of a double-click. Moving the slider to the right will increase the timeout interval in 0.1 second intervals. In the same manner, moving the slider to the left will decrease the timeout in 0.1 second intervals.</para>
49
<para>Double-click on the light bulb to the right of the slider
50
to test the setting. If you perform the two clicks of the double-click within
51
the timeout specified, the light bulb lights up fully to display a yellow
52
glow around the bulb. If you do not double-click within the timeout specified,
53
the light bulb does not light fully. You should increase the timeout setting
54
and try again. When the light bulb lights, the timeout setting is suitable
55
for your needs. </para>
