A mouse behaves differently based on whether the user is right
or left handed. If they're right handed, the left button is the
action button, while the right button is the menu button. The
mouse also typically sits on the right hand side of the desk.
If the user is left handed, they use the right button as the
action button, while the left button is the menu button. It
also sits on the left hand of the desk.
</para>
<para>
To configure the hand orientation, select the
<guibutton>Left-handed mouse</guibutton> button. If you're
right handed, deselect that button. Press
