Mouse won't adopt LH button configuration

Righteo, I just have one teething problem with 2009.1 left...

 

Being a left hander, I have my mouse sitting on the left side of my keyboard, and configured to use left hand button layout (i.e. Secondary / Wheel / Primary).

However, since installing 2009.1, it has adopted the right hand button layout (i.e. Primary / Wheel / Secondary), regardless of whether the orientation in Mouse Properties is set to left handes or right handed.

 

I've even attempted remapping the buttons in xorg.conf - again, this has no effect at all (and I've since commented out the line).

 

The mischievous rodent concerned is a Logitech USB optical mouse (M/N: M-BJ58) using the default "Any USB or PS/2 mouse" driver.

xorg.conf is ignored regarding input devices in 2009.1. If you do want the xorg.conf settings being respected, you have to disable device hotplugging (evdev).

 

OK, but why would it also ignore mouse orientation in "Mouse Preferences" (System --> Preferences --> Mouse)?

It respects double click speed and the Ctrl key 'sonar', just not the button orientation...

bug in gnome-settings-daemon (gconf key is correctly changed by configuration

UI) or Xorg, not sure yet.
