Hi, By reducing the upstream default 2 sec timout, this fix introduces a severe usability issue for macbook pro users like me. See lp #962958.
Getting to your original bug: "1.) Type a few key strokes. 2.) Try to move the cursor using the touchpad." That issue can be easily fixed by adding -t option to syndaemon launch without changing the default timeout. -t option ensures the mouse is movable during the timeout, but will prevent any accidental clicks. So, if you are worried about mouse movement only during that 2 sec, this is better way to patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801763 Title: Typing causes cursor to stick Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.)

Expected result: Cursor moves immediately Actual result: Cursor sticks for several seconds This could very well be strongly linked to the hardware used (Samsung N310, using the touchpad, not a mouse), so let's see if anyone else can reproduce.
