...And within less than three minutes after I posted the above, I checked another thread on the same subject and came up with a solution for my Acer Aspire One.  This was another "syndaemon" command.  Just tested it with non-stop typing on the Acer Aspire One for two minutes.  No jumping cursor.  I exorcised the demon again, thanks to the authors on the following thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271052&page=7

System: Preferences: Startup Applications.   Click on "+ADD". 
In the NAME and COMMAND boxes, type in "syndaemon -i 1 -d".
Then, click on "+ADD".  Then, click on CLOSE.
Restart your laptop and see if you can type and have the text end up where you are typing instead of jumping up and back a few lines.

This worked for my Acer Aspire One. Now I will apply the fix to my wife's Acer Aspire One.
Her Compaq V2000 responded to the "syndaemon -i 3 -d -t -k" fix, the same as my HP L2005US.

Evidently, whatever system you have, there is a syndaemon configuration
that will probably work for you.
