Thanks for getting it fixed for Natty. Please backport that fix to 10.04LTS and 10.10. I know it says no more comments needed, but I'm not certain that is totally accurate. With one hand having a small tremor, and the other not, I guess I qualify under both usability and accessibility. So I add

#245: Our experience is indeed different. I simply cannot make the pointer appear using a trackpad. It often takes me upwards of 5'' to find the correct pixel. Funnily enough, I've had four separate Ubuntu users comment on this behavior independently, just during the last week. I'm glad to see
