(Get the code!)
Confirmed with a 4,2 Macbook Air. Thankfully I have a trackball in hand most of the time, but this is definitely the biggest drawback I've encountered so far since switching from OS X a couple of days ago.
FWIW, xf86-input-mtrack has recently added two options that sound promising:
* IgnoreThumb - Whether or not to ignore touches that are determined to be thumbs. Boolean value. Defaults to false.
* BottomEdge - The size of an area at the bottom of the trackpad where new touches are ignored (fingers traveling into this area from above will still be tracked). This is represented as a percentage of the total trackpad height. Defaults to 10.
I don't have the heart at the moment to attempt to swap out the synaptics driver for xf86-input-mtrack (the .deb I found looks like it depends upon an experimental xorg input abi); hopefully a fix for this comes along before I get desperate enough to try...
