Bug#629243: Synaptics touchpad disabled:

[ael <law_ence.dev@ntlworld.com>]

I have now found that the problem that I encountered is more
subtle.

1) Only some of the synaptics functions were disabled. In particular,
 the second right (button 3) was not recognised. However scrolling
 was still working.

2) Restarting X re-enabled full button recognition. Maybe a race 
   somewhere?

3) In passing, I should note that scrolling sometimes does not work,
   but reloading the psmouse module fixes that. I had not bug reported
   this last, but on reflection it might be a refelction of the same
   underlying bug...
