Impossible to use WindowMaker with Ubuntu 14.10 with my laptop, can not
"right-click" on "Clip Main", can not use "right-click menus"...

This is very annoying, it depends on a mouse... I don't remember the
last time I used a mouse with a laptop...

Title:
  Mouse pointer doesn't move with two fingers pressed on bcm5974
  touchpad

Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ## Issue

  - mouse pointer doesn't move with two fingers pressed (although right-
  click is registered)

  - cannot right-click 'n' drag with two-finger mouse button 2 emulation

  - can't access context menus with right-click drag because mouse
  pointer doesn't move

  ## Environment

  - bcm5974-based touchpad

  - Unity, Window Maker, and Xfce are all affected

  ## Further information

  Attached is the syslog after enabling debugging in the bcm5974 driver,
  and two-finger pressing and moving the two fingers around on the
  trackpad.  Notice that the driver registered movement (Y: and X:
  values change with n:2, or two fingers down), but the pointer was not
  moving on the screen.

  Steps used:

  sudo echo -n 9 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug
  sudo logger begin two-finger test
  [move fingers around with two-fingers pressed]
  sudo logger end two-finger test
