Alright, I'll give you that.  You can adjust acceleration/threshold and 
left/right hand in the GNOME control panel and click try,  then you can 
test, and then hit revert.  But it isn't as straigh forward,  and it 
doesn't provide a button for you to test on,  one has to go do it for 
real.

I'm off to gnome.org to submit a feature request....
