Hello,

how can I make sure that a defaults write command will actually be applied?

In particular I am looking to change this PLIST*:
defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad Dragging -int 1
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad Dragging -int 1


Logging out/rebooting won't apply the changes in 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and 10.9 (Mavericks).
Any ideas? :confused: Thanks.


* The two settings can be found in System Preferences > Accessibilty > Mouse & Trackpad > Trackpad Options…
