Boy, Raphael, you are really smart!  This is also an opportunity to praise
you on your janitor script, that has worked for me perferfectly in all
incarnations.

You really hit exacly the part of Patrick's contribution I find most
valuable, since it covers some configuration options not available through
those tools.  They bring some sanity to the middle button in this badly
designed touchpad - out of despair I had bound the middle button to the menu
key, but that is a bit broken.  Still, I miss a multitouch touchpad.

Regards,

Arnaldo
