Mmmh, I just thought I might post it here, since I haven't found any traces for it in the wiki and in the forums: is anything planned to have a graphical manager for synaptic touchpads? (Well, touchpads in general!)
Now, why the hell? Well I discovered that it's nice to have it all work natively and all (like the scrollbar area on the right of my Dell Inspiron 5000 touchpad, which works flawlessly), BUT the current gnome mouse preferences dialog don't affect touchpads. It only affects, say, a plugged USB mouse.
And that touchpad has waaaaaaaaaaay to much acceleration! It's getting a bit on my nerves, I'm almost wishing for a decrease of sensitivity to an "iBook" level ;). I guess there's a way to do it without a graphical interface, but I thought it would be nice to have it someday. Meanwhile, could anyone give me some tips on how to fix this little annoyance? Then there will only be ACPI support and linksys WPC11 support left on my "kill list" ^^
Edit: hm, since I'm not so interested in creating a thread for every question I have, let's have a two in one :) I'd like to know, are there plans to "de-uglify" firefox's forms widgets? Is this part of a) ubuntu b) firefox-gnome c) firefox ? Any idea when that could appear?
