[Bug 1387562] [NEW] Touchpad settings ignored

 

Public bug reported:

Upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10. Have "two-finger scroll" and "tap to click" selected in system settings. When I log in these functions work but seems that as soon as an application is started, including the Dash, "two-finger scroll" and "tap to click" stop working. Logging out and back in again restores the functionality but then it is lost as soon as an application starts again.
I found this was an intermittent problem under 14.04 but only when resuming from sleep. Now the function basically does not work at all.
