I just fiddle around in gnome-mouse-properties motion tab (usually opened
from Applications menu Preferences submenu Mouse item).

In my opinion, the labels Acceleration: and Sensitivity: are backwards.  I
set the so-called "Sensitivity:" (acceleration, actually) to minimum so the
mouse will move predictably the same amount no matter how fast or slow I
move it.  I set "Acceleration:" (sensitivity) so that the mouse traverses
the whole screen in the distance I want.  Even if you like mouse
acceleration, you might find setup easier with it set to minimum.
