If you use KDE, it is in kcontrol. kcmshell mouse to be exact.

right, there is an option to change the contextmenu for mouse-clicks.
But i need to start a program immediately by clicking the mouse,-
without showing the contextmenu.
I dont know the function of kcmshell (And i can't find any useful in google about it) ,
but if it is possible to change KDE-clickbehaviour with it, how should it be done ?
No details,- hints or links would be useful enough.
Thanks a lot.

Oh,- now, i understand: it's meant to be a console comand.
It starts the control center with the option to change the usual mouse settings.
Nothing new
Here, we can change if it is a doubleclick or a single click wich opens a folder, starts a program, or something similar..
There is no possibilty to make the desktop doubleclick-sensitive.
I have searched a lot via google and i have read that there is a solution within X-Windows.
That means, X is scriptable.
But i could'nt found out "where" and "what" to do.
Anybody here who has ever heard about it and can give me a link ?

You could make a menu entry with kmenuedit and assign a hotkey to it. It's already on the bugs.kde.org whishlist to make it possible to have mouse buttons as hotkeys.
