           Summary: Difficult to sort column when using graphics tablet
           Product: krunner
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kde jamesots com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When I press Ctrl-Esc to get the System Activity window up, and then click on a column in the view to try to sort it, it very rarely works.

This is because it is very difficult to hold a graphics tablet totally still - it usually moves a pixel or two during a click. Which means it gets interpreted as a drag instead.

setStartDragDistance needs to be called on the application to set a sensible default first - it looks like Windows defaults to 3 or 4, which works fine. I imagine this needs to be a system wide default, rather than a per-app thing though.
