Comment 82 for bug 28052

with all the tools now available in X, it would be great to have the following properties in gnome-mouse-properties:

speed (general linear speed multiplier)
acceleration (non-linear speed modifier)
threshold (distance before acceleration)

And name them correctly, because it is misleading when threshold slider is named "sensitivity", to put it mildly.

also current visualization in g-m-p is very unhandy. Slider does not give any useful information, nor it gives the ability to set proper values. A text field is needed to see and modify numeral values.
For example I have to use gconf-editor to set acceleration strictly to "1" in order to disable it, because there is no way to tell which value is set with slider.
