I'm just trying to get some work done on centos which uses gnome. now every time I use the slider to drag to a new position, if the thing is clicked down for maybe more than a couple seconds, it sticks to the slider. now, when I get to the desired location, I have to click twice or I'll lose my location as the pointer moves off... now I know it must be settable somewhere, but goddamit if I can find it. why in the fuck would something so fucking simple not be settable from a goddamned settings bar. There is a whole good goddamned systems menu wasting space up there... then there is the settings ... but fuck it if this is over there... why in the god damned hell, in 2009, do I have to spend more than 20 seconds finding something so fucking trivial as this goddamend Shit! for fucks sake people! think like the users ... and not like someone who's been with the product for 20 years!
