Two new data points: in xfce, the mouse will freeze and never come back after 1 or 2 minutes from login. The problem does not manifest in KDE, which seems to argue against the idea I'd had that this might be an fglrx problem. Gnome classic and Gnome shell both seem to not fully load, leaving me with a blank Ubuntu desktop. No idea what went wrong there, or when. My next step will be to run off the live cd for a while and see if everything behaves properly there. If it does, I'll try a reinstall and run for a while with the Free xorg driver and see how it goes, then try installing fglrx from jockey (haven't really been following related bugs, but maybe it's been sorted in the last week or two) and see if the problem shows up. This is probably an edge case, so don't lose any sleep over it. If I find a cause, I'll let you know. Since KDE is unaffected, the mouse freezes in xfce, and Gnome Shell and Classic both have problems, I'm thinking something just got hosed in GTK somewhere and a reinstall might be the best solution.

The settings it causes to be used are: syndaemon -d -i 2.0 -K -R -t This only disables taps, which causes the cursor to run wldly around the screen while typing. "Not a problem!" you say? Try using focus follows mouse, especially with auto-raise, then come back and tell me that :-) The correct settings are: syndaemon -d -i 2.0 -K -R This completely disables the touchpad while typing, for two seconds. My workaround was to uncheck the box and add syndaemon, with my parms, to the Startup Applications. This is maybe not a blocker, but I think getting a bug fix out on this sooner rather than later would be good. Putting the workaround in the release notes might also be a good idea. It could save others the hours of research I've put in. 2 seconds also seems a bit long, I'm going to try 1.5 and 1.25 and see how that works out. Let me know if there's any other info you need or anything you'd like me to test. Thanks!
