[Bug 1385866] [NEW] Unity mouse clicks not honoring xorg.conf settings

 

Public bug reported:

My laptop has a synaptics compatible mousepad which unity by default configures with the bottom right corner as right click and top right corner as middle click. This is annoying for a large number of reasons because Unity also fails to disable click while typing in most of the cases (the time threshold is too short).
Anyway. I have my xorg.conf set to disable this corners:

# /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf 
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "RBCornerButton" "0"
        Option "RTCornerButton" "0"
        Option "VertEdgeScroll" "off"
        Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "off"


This works in any other environment but Unity.

Please fix this annoying behavior.
