I didn't get a reply to this over on talk, so I brushed off my rusty 
Java and looked at the source. The test for 'near' is completely wrong 
(it doesn't do an abs on the difference between coordinates - and would 
be better as a radial test anyway - and it doesn't do the click if 
_either_ coordinate is the same on down as up rather than _both_. And 
there is a 7 pixel locality hard coded, which isn't enough on my tablet.

So I've fixed it, and made the radius (and time delay) configurable 
through the Preferences panel.

I now need an account to do svn commits. How can I get one?

Thanks,
David
