GPM problems

[William M. Quarles]

Problem: the fix does not hold with reboot.  I have to swap around the
configuration changes again afterwards.  It has already been committed 
as a bug about a week ago (I orginally tried to start this thread 
before, but I accidentally sent it from the wron e-mail address).  I've 
added my comments.

BTW, Edson, I apologize, you were correct system-config-mouse is the
command for FC 2, which I did not realize was just released.  I'm still
using FC 1.
