# GUI for mouse wheel speed using imwheel in Gnome | |
# imwheel needs to be installed for this script to work | |
# sudo apt-get install imwheel | |
# Pretty much hard wired to only use a mouse with | |
# left, right and wheel in the middle. | |
# If you have a mouse with complications or special needs, | |
# use the command xev to find what your wheel does. | |
# | |
### see if imwheel config exists, if not create it ### | |
