Hi everyone,
Launchpad seems very slow recently... so my updates will take a while to
get through...
I am going to push a major update to the mouse/touchpad settings.
I found a little c program called flsynclient that covers all the basic
touchpad/synaptics stuff.
So I modified my program to use its code.  I had to rewrite most of the
underlying stuff (c and c++ are not always compatible... and there are
better ways to do certain tasks in c++).

So now the mouse settings will be pretty amazing.  however, I have not
yet set this up to start each time the user logs in.  I will be doing
this soon, but not quite yet.  The important thing is to give users the
ability to modify these settings.  I may make  simple front page with
common options all contained in one button
like:
a) tap off, horizontal scrolling on 
b) two finger left click, tap off, horizontal scrolling on
c) one finger right click, two finger left click, tap on, horizontal
scrolling on
d) bottom left left click, bottom right right click, vertical scrolling
off, natural scrolling on
etc...
I am open to hearing personal favorites here...
This will make a huge difference for configuring the mouse... it is WAY
better than any of the current synaptics front ends.... believe me my
touchpad is very touchy so being able to configure using this is amazing
(it works right now)

I am quite excited about this
