Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installing from a USB stick made by usb-creator on a Hardy Heron computer from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20091028.5/karmic-desktop-i386.iso

Installing on a Dell Latitude D600, with a trackpad. The installer sometimes does not detect button1-up events on GUI buttons right away. When I press and release button1, the GUI button stays in its depressed visual state until I touch the trackpad again. If keep a finger on the trackpad and press and release button1, the GUI stay depressed until I move the cursor. (I do not have to move the cursor off the GUI button -- a tiny movement within the borders of the button is enough.)

This happened frequently on the first few installer screens, but buttons behaved normally on later screens.

In retrospect, this happened on earlier ISO releases as well. I thought I was imagining things...
