John:

Just catching up on email so don't know if anyone's told you yet, but ...

You don't need to reboot to have a change take effect in linux--usually. 
In fact, you rarely need to reboot at all.

In this particular case (with Redhat), you can stop the running mouse 
service by doing:

service gpm stop

Of course, you can also start it with:

service gpm start

And, if you make new settings and just want them to take effect, you do:

service gpm restart

Works well for all kinds of services. See /etc/services.
