[ale] Linux for "normal" people?

[Jay Loden]

I know nothing about sticky keys on linux, but if it helps any, I do know that 
you can do reverse mouse buttons quite easily in KDE.  You go to the control 
panel, Peripherals, Mouse, and there's an option to make it a "left-handed 
mouse" (switch buttons) and you can also control stuff like reversing the 
scroll wheel polarity and what have you. 

With sticky keys, if this doesnt exist on Linux yet, I'd think this is 
something you could get someone to code, because it would help other users 
who need that functionality. I for one would be willing to help track someone 
down who would do the coding for it, and make enough noise that someone pays 
attention.  (I'm not enough of a programmer to do it myself) 

Hope that helps some, 

-Jay
