Change double click speed program

This topic has been raised several times over the years. The latest was posted by @bigpup here:
viewtopic.php?p=84878&hilit=double+click#p84878

Previously editing the file /root/.gtkrc-2.0 was suggested, but that had the potential to be overwritten if you changed your GTK theme.

Doubleclick-speed.sh changes or creates the file /root/.gtkrc-2.0.mine and is not affected by a theme change.

Just download and run the bash program: doubleclick-speed.sh
You may have to make the file permissions executable after download.

Changing the doubleclick speed is useful if you have users who find the default speed is to fast. This applies even if you use Rox's default "single click" to open, since many program dialog and menu windows still require double clicking to select an item.

EDIT 9/1/23: added .pet package for those who prefer to install and have an entry in the Puppy menu (setup)
