Xubuntu: default double click time is too short

[Pjotr12345]

Especially for elderly people, the default double click time of 250 ms, is too short. Many elderly people have difficulty clicking swiftly enough.

In my opinion, a default double click time of 350 ms would therefore be better.

[Ron Bakker (r0n)]

The time is to short, 350msec is a better value.

[Tom rooze.sen (tomrooze-sen)]

The time is indeed short, a longer default time of 350 ms would be much better.

"Opinion" is like "won't fix". With two independent confirmations, I think this report deserves more consideration....

[Pasi Lallinaho (knome)]

With lots and again lots of people not having complained about this, I'm still thinking we only see the vocal minority here.

It's not at all justified to think "opinion" here means "won't fix". I have subscribed the Xubuntu Team to this bug, so the team will be informed of all changes. Since this is a trivial change to make for the new release, I'd still wait and see for more feedback from the issue from the team and other people too before doing a hasty decision in a direction or another.

I think it better in this case to check who doesn't think the swap is a good thing. If it's minority VS no-one, the tiny effort is worth it to please said minority.

[Pjotr12345 (computertip)]

Upstream at Xfce, the double-click interval has been increased to 400 ms:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10562

Now it might take a long time before this fix lands downstream at Xubuntu
automatically. Perhaps not yet for Xubuntu 14.04. That would be a pity,
because it's such an irritating bug. And Xubuntu 14.04 will be LTS, with a
very long lifetime....

So my request: please apply this improved default setting in Xubuntu 14.04
LTS.

Regards, Pjotr.
