What I have seen with this bug and others is that there is a permissions issue within the lxqt environment. I as a user would want the ability to save and have a separate profile for "my user" using lxqt, rather than having to use sudo and elevated permissions to save the desired changes, no. Doing so now fixes the change for everyone, rather than an individual user. Thus the user who filed the bug where he make the modification to make his mouse left-handed and it works until he reboots and has to make the change again as the user-level change was not saved as expected. Thus this bug as well fits into that category. So what I dislike is that these bugs are coded as one-off, as they effect just one user. I disagree. These bugs affect everyone and there are many left-handed people. Many do not want to got to the time and trouble of filing a bug and following up with it. Or just accept that something does not work as expected and make the needed modification on an as needed basis; as they know that is what they need to do in order for them to function. In my case I identified the bug, identified a work around, as well identified the root source. It would be nice that someone collect these like bugs and classify them accordingly; then fix the underlying permissions or missing mechanism to have a user level config file problem in either the current and/or future versions. Else document the work around for all to find more readily.
