Bug#564870: gnome-control-center: gnome-mouse-properties segfault on VNC

[Christophe Lohr]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.28.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Hi,
  While trying gnome-control-center on an session running in a X-VNC-server lead to a bug:

$ gnome-mouse-properties
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1.0".
Segmentation Fault

(Note that iIt occures with any X server that has no XInputExtension)

As an alternative to xinput, I sugget to use the old 
  xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"

It is also a workarround to the bug about remapping button of Synaptics Touchpad.

Regards.
