Given that Firefox is the only application that affected me, changing Firefox's default behaviour is probably an acceptable fix. However, it took me 6 months of casual laptop use to figure out these advanced features of the touchpad (and I would consider myself an 'expert' user). I think something needs to be done to document it. Two suggestions come to mind: 1. Add a tool bar applet (like I've seen on some Windows laptops with the Synaptics touchpad) which the user can click on to configure settings and get help. 2. Just add a configuration utility to the Desktop->Preferences menu. Even if all that does is provide a link to a help page detailing it's operation and how to configure it manually from the xorg.conf file. I'm surprised this issue has not been brought up before. I have this impression (and I could be wrong as I don't have time to evaluate other distros right now) that FC is not a very laptop friendly distro (?). Joe.
