If I have time later I may pop in my Jaunty live CD, I am unsure of what
changed between then and now as far as default configurations are
concerned.. however.. after poking around in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ as
well as /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdpolicy (some sites suggest the
default file is in "10osvendor"), I managed to come up with a custom FDI
file that restored all my synaptics functions back to the way they were.

Andreas will probably slap me for this, as I probably should have
checked these earlier, and did not. However, the fdi system is fairly
new to some people (myself included), so I am going to attach my custom
file in the hopes it will help someone else out and prevent them from
also being slapped.

As I stated though, it is unclear to me whether this change was intended
or not. In the case where it was accidental, I suppose it'd still be
considered a bug. If it was intended, I am certain this bug report will
eventually be closed.

At any rate, the attached file is my fdi policy. The quick instructions
are;

Download to .. wherever.
sudo cp 99-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
reboot

I added some comments in the file as to what things are, most are fairly
self explanatory. Any questions about it can be emailed to me directly
through my profile and I can try to help you out.
