I'd agree with this business of "well, it's programmable so you set things
up the way you want" but for one thing: I don't have the source code to
all the programs so I *can* set them up. Playing games with the system
definitions only goes so far: I can't convince Xpic to use hold-and-drag
instead of click-move-click, for example, by redefining buttons. I know
NeWS is more configurable than X, but I don't get the feeling it's
practical to do it en mass: otherwise why would anyone need a mouse help
menu?
