Dear Bryce,

I will do that check when I upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10.  The problem 
remains, but only exists if I do not plug in an external mouse.  I 
expect it has to do with the touchpad being Alps and having an eraser 
button on the keyboard, but I am not sure.  It is quicly triggered if I 
both move the eraser button and slide my finger across the touchpad at 
the same time.  But as you say, let me check if the problem remains with 
9.10 then I'll refile.  For now I just always have a mouse plugged in to 
the laptop, or else keep my fingers far away from the touchpad.

One question, though:  is there a particular way I should upgrade that 
will make sure any problematic .conf or other files are not retained 
from 9.4?  Thanks.

Sincerely,

Russell
