3 questions on konsole, mouse in new debian sid system

[Charlie Zender <zender@uci.edu>]

Hi,

I just installed debian sid on a Dell inspiron 8500 laptop.
Here is a potpurri of questions on how to tweak things.

1. The USB mouse does not work. It was unclear which mouse
driver to select during configuration, because USB was not
a choice. I forget which one I chose. Apparently it was the wrong
one. Now that the system is running, how do I tell it that
the mouse is _really_ USB?

2. This is a high resolution screen for a laptop (1920x1200).
I have the Konsole font set to huge but the letters look short and fat.
Can anyone recommend a "narrower" monospaced font for screen use?

3. How do I set a Konsole window to be "sticky" so that it appears
on all desktops?

Thanks,
Charlie
