Comment 12 for bug 240738

Hi Goofy. I marked your bug (#57764) a dupe of this primarily because of the following statements:
"When i change the settings in kcm-touchpad module and check with "synclient -l" the settings are indeed changed, however, they have no effect..."

and:
"Under Windows the pad works as expected, but under kubuntu its driving my wife crazy because she always hits the pad while typing text with quite unexpected results ;-)"

You mentioned other symptoms such as the inability to define FingerHigh and FingerLow boundaries, which may be a separate bug if you're still experiencing it.
