Happens on the latest version of lubuntu, fully upgraded. Thinkpad e420.

sudo synclient PalmMinWidth=10
sudo synclient PalmMinZ=10
sudo synclient PalmDetect=1

synclient -l >> settings.txt

reboot

synclient -l >> settings2.txt

diff settings.txt settings2.txt

...
< PalmDetect = 1
< PalmMinWidth = 10
< PalmMinZ = 10
---
> PalmDetect = 0
> PalmMinWidth = 9
> PalmMinZ = 199

It may or may not be related, but keymappings via lxkeymap don't update, either.
If you can furnish me with a quick and dirty workaround, I'd be forever grateful.
