Touchpad speed cannot be adjusted via GUI

[Dennis Lotz]

I wanted to adjust the speed of my touchpad, because it was too fast for me. So I adjusted it in the settings, but every time I close the mouse/touchpad settings window the value will go back to default.

I can adjust the speed in the console when I type :
xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 7.

Hope this can be fixed soon.
