Mouse Problems with 4.4.3

[George De Bruin]

The problem is a mis-configured synaptics mouse pad.  I had it turned off in
Gnome, but anything else that had it turned on would encounter the issue.
I've turned it off now (after having  to dig around on how to do this with
the newer HAL implementation in Intrepid).

If someone was up to writing an XFCE config tool for Synaptics devices, I am
sure it would be appreciated.  (Alas, I understand that there are always
more things to do than there are people/resources available to do them...)
