Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu 11.10

When "Two-finger scrolling" and "Enable horizontal scrolling" are
checked in the Touchpad settings, pushing two fingers up and down
scrolls vertically, and pushing two fingers left and right scrolls
horizontally. This is a good thing.

What is not a good thing is scrolling horizontally while I'm in the
middle of scrolling vertically, or scrolling vertically while I'm in the
middle of scrolling vertically. That is invariably a mistake, and causes
annoying wobbling. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/82846315/out.ogv

This could easily be fixed by ignoring any horizontal movement during a
two-finger swipe if started out vertical, and ignoring any vertical
movement during a two-finger swipe if it started out horizontal.
