I can confirm that this is an issue on the MacBook Air 4,2 Mid 2011. Also seems to be an issue with any trackpad that supports multitouch and has no click buttons, but a click pad. This is the reason I still don't use ubuntu on my Mac. Please take this into consideration and add thumb support and multitouch clickpad support. I use mtrack, but it isn't very good, sometimes misses sensing my thumb.

Likewise it is also possible to use two finger scrolling with the index and middle finger on the upper part on the track pad while resting the thumb on the lower part of the trackpad. This behaviour is not currently supported with the synaptics driver in 12.04. It wil register a two finger scroll when the thumb is resting in the bottom part and index finger moves around in the upper part. I have tried playing aroud with the setting AreaBottomEdge that disables all motion on the bottom part of the touchpad. Unfortunately when this setting is enabled it still detects a finger in the area, so it wil register a two finger scroll like before.
