Hi Konstantin, thanks for the input! Of course one could create a separate account. But as of now, it's not more than opening a web browser and using some educational websites (anton.app and antolin.westermann.de). So when he wakes up my notebook from suspend to disk, he sees my (right- handed) desktop, would have to log out using the right-handed mouse, and would need to login as another user. It's not about a real user account, it's about quickly using the machine for a few minutes. I simply liked the (apparently) simple approach of that "mouseswap" plasmoid, as it seems you would just have to do one click to do the job. Also, I think it would be an alluring challenge to get it to work this way ;-) I think the mouseswap Plasmoid didn't look for a change to that specific option, but for any configuration change via systemsettings, and looked up the specific setting via the kconfig framework afterwards. So I would (possibly) already be happy to figure out how I can detect any config change ...
