I confirm that this is a problem. I offer ubuntu installation for free
to my customers and take back their feedback in order to improve ubuntu.
This problem with compiz and laptop touchpad has been a serious issue
for me and some of my customers. therefore, I set this bug to triaged
and Importance to wishlist
** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
Status: New => Triaged

Binary package hint: compiz

by default:
+ After enabling Desktop Effects on Gutsy, using the mouse wheel over the
desktop switches between desktops because viewport is activated and configured
by default to have this behavior. I think this feature should not be enabled by
default:
- by enabling this feature, switching on the "Visual Effects" unexpectedly
(for me as user) changes functionality - while I think this is indeed a feature
that could be useful, in my opinion it should have a setting on its own,
instead of "sneaking in" with the Desktop effects :-)
- personally, I have problems with this feature, as my notebook mouse is
quite sensitive for touching the mousewheel. When the mouse is over the
desktop, it occasionally happens that I touch the wheel strong enough to
accidentally switch screens, which is quite annoying.
As a side problem, I have not found a way to disable this feature
without installing ccsm - so I suppose disabling this feature will for
most users involve googling, instead of intuitively finding a checkbox
somewhere that disables this feature.
Summary:
I would appreciate if this behavior is disabled by default.
