ksynaptics problem with shared memory configuration

[icorbett]

Binary package hint: ksynaptics

On a fresh Gutsy install of kubuntu I have installed ksynaptics and added the required option to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but when opening the kxynaptics control panel get an error from the control module.

----- begin excerpt from /etc/X11/xorg.conf -----
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
        Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
----- end excerpt from /etc/X11/xorg.conf -----

I have also tried both of the following modifications to the SHMConfig option to no avail.

        Option "SHMconfig" "on"

and

        Option "SHMconfig" "true"

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
