Ubuntu 13.10 with a simlpified version of #14 partially "fixes" Lenovo
ThinkPad Edge E531.

The mouse behaves a bit strange, not good, but better than before. A
hysteresis value above 50 makes it even worse (in another aspect) than
it was before... Seems like this particular xorg-drug comes with a side-
effect ;)
The E531 has a clickpad (i.e. it has its physical button under the
finger-sensitivt part of the touchpad). The only way to right-click is
to use this pad -.- The lack of precision affects the right click
context menus, without the fix above right-clicking always opened some
alternative in the right-click menu, often the first. Now, it doesn't
click anything most of the time, but sometimes it does hit the first
one. Left-clicking is also affected, but there is the alternative of
tapping for these clicks.
Some walkarounds that really don't fix the problem:
* Only use tapping. Only works for left-click.
* Set AreaBottomEdge - cannot set for only right-click, has to take the whole
bottom edge. Might work for you.
* Change the theme, some have had success with adding a non-clickable border
around all context menus, effectively moving the menu way off the mouse so you
don't accidentally click it.
I think what we really need is a ClickHysteresis, so that the mouse
doesn't move when clicking the clickpad (both left and right click).
Maybe we should open a new bug for this issue? I think we could have two
very similar bugs in one thread here.
