Good point. Here is revised control file:
Description: configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver of X server
GSynaptics is a configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver
of X server. This enables you to modify driver parameters on the fly
through GUI interface using "synclient" program as its backend.
.
SECURITY NOTE! This program requires you to enable the "SHMConfig"
option in the X configuration file. This is *not* *secure* if you
are in an untrusted multiuser environment. For typical laptop PC
environment with only one user account where this package is most
likely to be used, risks involved can be acceptable level.
.
Please read /usr/share/doc/gsynaptics/README.
