This issue is definitely a problem for me - as I'm on a MacBook (with only one mouse button), the default trackpad settings - quite frankly - leave a lot to be desired, and I can't configure it as-is without editing xorg.conf or opening a security hole (even then, gsynaptics is limited - for instance, there is no way to configure two-finger scroll or right-click tapping). I was able to adjust my acceleration (using the Mouse control panel) by setting my trackpad to be CorePointer, but not tapping/scrolling. I think this should be investigated again before Gutsy - as it stands, it is *impossible* to even change the trackpad acceleration without editing xorg.conf, which is unacceptable in a distribution targeted towards everyone. Either we could use SHMConfig and find a way to close the security hole, or we could use the Mouse control panel and CorePointer as suggested. I may give the source a look, but I'm rather C-impaired so I don't know what I'll make of it.
