I don't use KDE, but I'd assume it makes a menu entry in whatever passes

Here's the touchpad section of my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
The SHMConfig option needs to be set to use the GUI configurators. From
the command line, you can also use synclient. See the man page.
I just reset the machine to test the wifi, and looking in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
Also, a tray icon with the synaptics options appeared. So it's
working. However, it's all greyed out (I cannot change any options),
and it complains that it cannot access shared memory.
That's what SHMConfig does is allow shared memory access for
configuration. After updating xorg.conf, you need to restart X.
I just saw that it's set to emulate 3 buttons. So I hit the two
buttons and it pasted. Cool. I'm glad that I looked at that.
