Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
(Since bug #426675 shows as CLOSED, it obviously isn't that bug, because it doesn't refer to a fix)
On my Dell Latitude D620, gnome-moujse-
Mouse Preferences -> Mouse Orientation -> Left-handed
has no effect on the buttons of the built in touch pad.
It _does_ have an effect on the buttons _above_ the touch pad.
For somebody left handed like me, this is an absolute show stopper.

Also applies to Dell XPS M1210 laptop which uses a Synaptics touchpad.
Can anyone confirm if this bug only effects Dell laptops?
Laptop sales now exceed 50% of PCs sold, and just about all laptops have touchpads. With 7%-10% of computer users being left-handed, this bug effects between 1 out of 28 potential/actual Ubuntu users, and 1 out of 20.
