Hi, I'm not sure if all mousetweaks options fit into gnome-mouse-properties. The problem is that the current configuration dialog already has 3 tabs and there will likely be more options once we add the single-click feature (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs/MouseTweaks/mousetweak5). It might be better to retain the current standalone dialog and rework it to match the look&feel of gnome-accessibility-keyboard-properties. I suggest the following: * Rename mousetweaks-preferences to gnome-accessibility-mouse-preferences and rework the gui. * Maybe put a launcher 'Mouse Accessibilty' in System->Preferences->Universal Access * Provide a patch for gnome-at-properties which adds a button 'Mouse Accessibility' in the Preferences Section to launch the dialog. This would complement the existing gnome keyboard features with a mouse counterpart.
