I've historically included the appropriate commands to get the settings I want in autostart and everything works the way I want every time. However, it should be noted that synaptics is effectively deprecated in lieu of libinput. In fact, you'll see GNOME went so far as to [discontinue support for synaptics][1]. Upstream [Debian is even generally superceding synaptics][2] (which means it affects Ubuntu). synaptics still exists but you can see [development is halted][3] while [libinput rages on][4]. You can use them both, but really, you should just switch to libinput. The libinput and xinput commands should do the trick, as covered by [Arch][5]. >> Though some people like command-line-interfaces, I hope this >> work-around isn't the permanent solution to the problem. For what it's worth, there was never an exposed interface for touchpad settings in any previous version of Lubuntu. > I am sure all LXQt denizens would welcome a fully functioning true > synaptics config tool We've included it as a [goal for 19.04][6] but I'm sure as you'll see from the linked upstream bug, it's not the easiest of issues, so it may not be possible for 19.04, but we're hoping. > The caveat is that this is Xorg specific... no idea how Wayland > will/does handle this... libinput has been built to support Wayland from the get go. So it just works. Not so with synaptics.
