Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
Release:        9.04
Architecture: i386
Version: 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu3

Many laptop users with a Synaptics trackpoint / touchstyk have reported very 
slow pointer motion when using the trackpoint (also called touchstyk).
One way to work around the problem is to: 
xset m 4 0
in a terminal or .xsession 
However, this setting gets cancelled by gnome as soon as one leaves X or 
suspend/resumes.
A better work around is to start gconf-editor and navigate to:
desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse
and set:
motion_acceleration 4
motion_threshold 0

BUG TO FIX: Mouse preferences should enable lowest Sensitivity to go to 0 
instead of 1.
Even better would be to associate a numerical value to the slider position so 
we know what xset we are at.

Thank you.
