Dear Larry, thank you for the suggestions. I have tried it and in fact it works as it did the setting of the typing speed under Gutsy: It is (and was) not a great solution, in that it decreases to a very little level the "jumping" of the cursor, provided that the rate is set very high. You solution is better than the previous because the applet had a limit of 300 for the rate, and instead with your script I can set it to 500 and it seems better!
I have a related question: I have tried to set the two keys using gconf-editor, but it does not seem to work; and I have noticed that the two keys (rate and delay) are classified as "having no schema": What does it mean?
