I think that computers should be like Tai Chi: they should get maximum work 
done with minimum effort.  GUI tools seem to fit this criteria more often 
than editing config files by hand, since I can usually figure out the GUI 
tools without having to read a man page.

Incidentally, "man -k" doesn't seem to be of any help when trying to figure 
out how to adjust mouse acceleration.

Then if KDE 3.5 doesn't support fractions for mouse acceleration, maybe I 
should teach myself the QT toolkit and write a patch to give it support for 
fractional mouse acceleration.  (I may be interested in maximum work from my 
computer with minimum effort, but that does not mean I'm lazy.)
