And I also get a "trackpad" tab in the Gnome pointer settings dialog (and in gpointing-device-settings). Haven't got two finger scrolling working yet, but vertical scroll area works, and disabling the pad while typing, and the oversensitivity of the pad in general I was experiencing has been reigned in. Hope this helps someone until a more out-of-the-box fix is implemented.
