I noticed something new (now on Fiesty also): Although the misspelling seems to have been fixed, my setting still don't reliably load.

When I first log in, the circular and vertical scrolling don't work, but if I try again some arbitrary time later, it DOES work. I've even put the CircularScrolling options directly in xorg.conf, yet the same issue remains.

Another suggestion:
The synaptics driver with SHMConfig enabled should be set up, and gsynaptics should be installed, if a touchpad is detected during setup. If it is made automatic, people won't have to deal with it manually, and it'll be far easier to disable tapping [assuming the other bug about the synaptics driver ignoring that setting has been fixed].

If the touchpad is made CorePointer and any other mice are set to use evdev with SendCoreEvents, then the secondary mouse will be hot-pluggable!
