How do you tell users the way of scrolling has been changed? Users have been scrolling using the edges of the touchpad for years. You can't just change this to two-fingers scroll. If the edges don't work in a new release of Ubuntu, they'll think the developers screwed up the touchpad drivers and just re-install an older version of Ubuntu where this "bug didn't excist". Yes, I know it's just disabled and users can re-enable it, but they don't know. How does the user know he has to use two fingers to scroll? The best way is to show a window showing an animated picture of how to scroll in this new version of Ubuntu. This windows should be displayed for every user which logs on for the first time if Ubuntu detects a Synaptics touchpad. Otherwise people really don't know how to scroll.
