I am just a user, trying to find out if the problem is due to a change in the Synaptics-driver or to a change in the gnome-setting (or gnome-settings daemon).

In earlier versions of Ubuntu (8.04) the following entry (apparently responsible for the problem) does not exist in gconf:
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad

Could somebody please check if the keybinding is set in Ubuntu 9.04 (the last version of Ubuntu where the problem did not appear). I already tried to check this is a live-cd - however Ubuntu 9.04 did not boot on my laptop.
If you have a live-CD or install of Ubuntu 9.04 available please:
a) boot
b) open gconf-editor (e.g. Atl-F2, type gconf-editor)
c) check the value of /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad
d) report back the answers to the following questions:
- Does the entry /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad exist?
- What is the value of the setting?

Thanks a lot in advance.
