    Red face How to reset my mouse settings?

    I've recently messed up my mouse settings on Ubuntu (Gnome) so now every once and a while my mouse double clicks when I click the button only once.

    How can I reset my mouse to the default values?

    TIA,

    Open a nautilus and look for preferences (I think it's in the edit menu, I'm on my laptop which only has openbox rightnow) and look for open links with one click or somethink like that.

    I guess you could also run
    Code:
    xorgconfig
    and that would reset your keyboard and mouse and monitor... and many things configs (and backup current ones) but I woulnd say you need to do that to fix your mouse. Leave as a last... very last resource

    Everything is ok in Nautilus, what I've changed were the settings under System->Preferences->Mouse

    Yes, I could backup my xorg.conf, run xorgconfig and manually "merge" the old and the new conf files, but I'd really like to avoid that...

    Any other suggestions?
