Description Joe Bayes 2010-06-03 16:00:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I adjust my keyboard and mouse settings using the "preferences" tool, and then log out and log back in, the settings revert to default.

Also, if I adjust my settings, click "OK", then restart the tool, the checkboxes and sliders are reset to their default values. If I click "OK" again, then the actual behavior is reset to its default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lxde-common-0.5.4-1.fc13.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. F->preferences->keyboard and mouse
2. On the "mouse" tab, click "left handed"
4. Click "OK".
5. log out and log back in
  
Actual results:
Mouse is right-handed.

Expected results:
Mouse is left-handed.

Additional info:
Also, if I click the "left handed" box, click "OK", then restart the tool, the checkbox is unchecked (but the mouse is still lefty). If I click "OK" again, then the mouse once again becomes a righty.
Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2010-06-04 01:10:51 UTC 
This is an issue with lxinput and lxsession, lxinput was not yet ported to the new lxsession. Reassigning to lxinput.
Comment 2 Onur Samiloglu 2010-06-23 08:34:29 UTC 
Same situation here.
Found something related at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/lxinput/+bug/563530

tried to create dir ~/.config/lxde
configuration seems to be saved but logging out and in again, configuration is set to default while seeming to be saved. Here is what I do exactly:

1- ~/.config/lxde did not exist. Settings were not saved. Setting mouse to left handed seems to work, yet does not get saved. Re-logging in or launching lxinput again resets current setting.
2- manually created the dir. Left handed setting seems to be saved, until logging out.
3- Logged in again. Setting is reset and mouse works as right handed. Launching lxinput and it seems to be left handed but works as right handed.

Here are my thoughts about the bug:

1- ~/.config/lxde does not get automatically created, hence preventing configuration changes to be saved.

2- after creating the dir manually, starting the session does not read the config. Thus the session settings are reset (to right handed).

3- starting lxinput makes lxinput to read the config but does not apply to the session (until changes are made.) After changing to right-handed, closing lxinput, starting lxinput again and changing to left-handed works.

Upstream bug report:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2996390&group_id=180858&atid=894871

I will look into fixing this later today.
Comment 4 Onur Samiloglu 2010-07-08 08:32:29 UTC 
I'm a little confused, but should I report the bug to the upstream or wait for the fix to be released for Fedora?
Comment 5 Christoph Wickert 2010-07-08 10:49:48 UTC 
There is no need to report it upstream, it is already known and there is already a fix in GIT. The problem is that the GIT version doesn't build ATM due to other problems. I have talked to upstream about this but he is busy with pcmanfm. I'll remind him once again...
