I just noticed that the crashing "Keyboard and Mouse"/"Input Device Prefs"
app crashes on both of my laptops.  The other laptop uses a Synaptic
track-pad.  It worked fine out of the box so I never tried to adjust the
speed or sensitivity, but I just gave it a test and it crashed the app as
soon as I moved and released the slider.   If I reopen the app, it still
shows the default settings.

Anyone else willing to test this?
