At this point, I am not really sure. Sounds like a bug. What is the

the gysnaptics is running only from command line :
$ /usr/bin/gysnaptics

however, it is using synclient and is this normal ? i thought i can activate features with a click.
i am attaching an image.

i have added the following lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :

----------------------

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad"
    Driver    "synaptics"
        Option    "SendCoreEvents"    "true"
    Option    "Device"    "/dev/psaux"
    Option    "Protocol"
    Option    "HorizEdgeScroll"    "0"
    Option    "SHMConfig"    "true"
EndSection

Section    "ServerLayout"
    Identifier    "Default Server Layout"
    Screen    "Default Screen"
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard" "Core Keyboard"
    InputDevice    "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" "Core Pointer"
EndSection

Section    "Module"
Load    "synaptics"
EndSection

-------------------

the following contains about the error if i run gsynaptics from menu in .xsession-error file :
/bin/bash: /usr/bin/gysnaptics: No such file or directory

Hardware properties:

    This is normal if you are running linux kernel 2.6.
    Check the kernel log for touchpad hardware information.
