Unclutter: units for the -jitter option should be specified in the man page

[Teo]

From man unclutter:

"-jitter
              is followed by the amount of movement of the pointer that is to
              be ignored and considered as random noise. The default is 0.
"

This doesn't give a clue of what units the "amount of movement" is measured in. Is it pixels? Pixels/second? Is it 0 for 0 sensitivity and 1 for maximum sensitivity? Whatever it is it should be explicitely mentioned in the man page.

Its pixels[1].

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

The parameter to -jitter is currently labeled "pixels" in version 8-17 which is probably clear enough. I take it a compromise on http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/unclutter/oneiric/view/head:/unclutter.c#L39 was merged and released already and this issue is resolved. Note though that it seems 639920 is still left "outstanding" in bugs.debian.
