** (gsynaptics-init:18215): WARNING **: Using synclient
Unknown parameter CoastingSpeedThreashold

it is very easy to fix this error, just modify the string containing
CoastingSpeedThreashold
maybe replacing it by just the first part of the name:
CoastingSpeed
that appears to be just a typing mistake
in the source files for:

$ grep -ir CoastingSpeedThreashold /usr/
Binary file /usr/X11R6/bin/gsynaptics-init matches
Binary file /usr/X11R6/bin/gsynaptics matches

I dont know how to modify that files in the repository, also I uninstalled thouchpad before reporting the bug.
neither I am 100% shure that the name replacement I suggested above is the intended behavior, because I haven't seen the source code.
I just browsed the object code discovering the string: "CoastingSpeedThreshold %s",
thus I inferred that this is part of a string format used to issue some code like

char format[]="something CoastingSpeedTreshold %s";
int value = some number;
....
sprintf(command,format,value);
system(command); or some of the exec family

I hope this helps to fix the problem. I regret not to know how to fix by my self being as easy as it seems because I am very busy at this moment to learn how.
