I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and using wbar as my dock, and when i boot up my computer and log-in I like to have my dock there instead of opening it. Is there a way to make it open automatically right when I log in?
just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.

I know how to make another button act as the middle button but how can I map several mouse buttons to the middle button? xmodmap complains if I repeat button numbers in the pointer option.
So I'm using Iceweasel 4 from the mozilla.debian.net repos. I recently upgraded a friend's computer from Windows Vista to Debian Linux. I went over to his house to chill and hopped on his computer to check my Facebook and noticed that his Iceweasel has the Firefox 4 single menu button at the top left of the window. He's not a tech-savvy user so he probably enabled this feature by accident, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. He's using the same version of Iceweasel as myself by the way.
I really like to add some items under mouse right button menu. For example when i right-click on the desktop i like to have as first entry "open konsole".
I was using lucid since beta 2 without problems, but since few days I can't get a menu when I click on the right mouse button. Doesn't work on the desktop or when for example I want to rename a file using the right mouse button. Is this a bug from gnome or a new properties?
I've switched my non-maximized window button locations back over to the right with gconf-editor but i'd like to change the global menu buttons over to the right as well.I've had 20 odd years working that way. I can't seem to find an option in gconf-editor and if google has the answer I'm not using the correct search terms.
I am using ubuntu 11.04 and I moved the maximize, minimize and close buttons to the right corner using gconf-editor besides that, I added the menu button to the left corner that's the one which is causing problems.
Whenever I click it, all window decorations (meaning borders) disappear.
I end up with two options, either logging out and back into ubuntu, what restarts all programs (as well as compiz as far as I understand) and the problem is gone (at least temporarily) the other nonpermanent fix is to disable and reenable window decorations in the compizconfig settings manager, the result of that action is not really a fix, since it leaves my top panel (which is usually transparent) completely scrambled
I'm running Slackware 13.37 with XFCE. I'm trying to increase the menu button size. I remember having succeeded in doing this with XFCE 4.2, but I unfortunately forgot to write down how I did that.
just click the [Computer] button at the left-bottom corner of the GNome desktop, the menu will shown, now press the printscreen button [PrtSc], nothing happen. no screenshot was made.or open any application , then click the menu like [file], let the menu list shown, then press [PrtSc] button, same thing, nothing happen.
I've been using this feature since Win3.1 days. Double-click the menu button on the top-left of the window to close it.It doesn't work for me right now in KDE, and I can't find any option to enable it. Googling gave a few hits of people requesting this feature in gnome, but no clear instructions on how to enable it in KDE or whether it's possible. (Though perhaps my Google-fu is just weak...)
how can I stop selecting items in menus on mouse button release? Sometimes I open a menu and move the mouse slightly before releasing it and I accidently select the item on the menu, which is annoying.
i have a problem with th home folder button. When I click the button from the drop down ''PLACES'' menu i get this "Error File not found'' but if i go to places>computer>home folder, then it opens. If i type in ''CWD" i get this "/home/piepie''.so the home folder does exist, and if i type /home/piepie is a directory.
While searching the net I found how to complete disable the functionality of the middle mouse button but I need this button for many other uses.I want to disable only it's paste action.

In Windows Explorer, if a file is focused, press Menu Key on keyboard, context menu will show on top of the file. But in Nautilus, the same action shows context menu where the mouse cursor is. That's a bit annoying. Is there anyway to make it work like Windows?
