I am sorry -- I did read the previous posts but overlooked the answer to
my question.

Reverting to 0.99.3-2ubuntu4 fixed it, but, as merc mentioned on
2009-05-23, it is probably still broken to a lesser extent. Now I do
recall that had I frequent problems landing a pasted selection on a
pixel, but I attributed that to my own lack of dexterity. It often
worked as I intended, but sometimes I would overshoot by 2-3 pixels and
have to go back to find the right position.

Now I repeated the test with synclient after rolling back xserver-xorg-
input-synaptics, and I can see that my X still misses some events,
although now  hitting the correct pixel is at least possible, and
correct placement of the insertion point in a text buffer and selecting
regions in it are completely trouble-free.

There is roufgly a 10-fold difference in the number of events missed in
0.99.3-2ubuntu4 and 0.99.3-2ubuntu5.

Just a WAG, but could this problem have anything to do with ALPS not
being Synaptics? Did anyone notice this with Synaptics?
