Ok, that was the series of patches. A few final caveats:
- first time touching gnome. I tried to conform to the coding style, and
"ItWorksForMe(tm)". But I have absolutely no background with either
metacity or control-center, so mistakes may have happened.
- The shortcut for setting the right-click in the window preferences
window is alt-i, as in "rIght". "R" was already used for "Raise". And I
didn't do a Polish version.
- I have no idea how to line up the titlebar action menu things prettily.
You can just consider it a congenital defect. I just don't do UI
programming. But it really doesn't look ugly or cluttered, I think. But
lining them up might be a good idea. Anybody who knows more about glade
and XML than I do (which means "anybody more experienced than cut and
paste") could go wild.
- Does it need to be in some "experts" menu? Don't ask me. I just want my
right mouse-button to be useful, without having to remember the magic
gconftool-2 syntax. I don't think mouse button configuration should be
that hard.
The few options I added are by no means exhaustive. Other mouse button
bindings may make sense. I tried to make it easy to add config options at
all levels, but the only one _I_ cared about was "lower" (which should
*not* be on a middle-mouse-button that I don't have).
And if this was the wrong place to send the patches, you can just blame
the README file in the control center source directory.
