With normal clicking, I'm dragging widgets on web pages by accident. I need to adjust the mouse drag threshold. http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.3/mouse-drag-threshold.html.en tells me how to do it in gnome. How in Lubuntu?

Please answer for Lubuntu.

**EDIT
i don't have a touchpad. mouse drag threshold is the distance the mouse moves in pixels before it decides that you are dragging a widget.

if you read the GtkSettings documentation, you can change the settings for GTK3 applications by editing the config file.

I tested this by adding

gtk-dnd-drag-threshold = 14

to /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini.

After rebooting it works, but not in Firefox, which is where I need it to work.

However, there is an article that describes how to edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the same modification. and it works.
