Well, I don't believe I'm clicking any more than I did a year ago, and
I'm getting a lot more windows open.  Maybe there's a setting that
affects sensitivity to clicks that's changed the default?

I don't see anything at all helpful there.  I do in fact want to be able
to click with the scroll wheel, just not as often as xfce seems to think
I do.

That truth could be crueller than fiction was one of the first lessons
that reading taught me, and I didn?t want to believe it. What I wanted
was Custer Rides Again, Joan of Arc II and Further Adventures of the
Princes in the Tower.
