Thanks Amaya,

Sorry about delay the group thing did not post it.

Gnome: Version: 2.30.2; Debian; build date: 12/11/10.

gpointing-device-settings works but give fewer options than fspc.  The other two do not work at all, tpconfig is apparently unable to phone home, the other one nothing happens.  (Give more details if you want.)

Cheap Advent Quantum Q200 P.C.  i386.

The Windows 7 (loader) with which it came also gives a difficult to use touch pad.  So I'd better modify the bug to the suggestion that what is needed is the ability to turn off the touchpad when typing.

This is because touch to click is very useful (if this is not switched off with fspc the insertion point when typing jumps about maddenenly) so what is wanted is touch to click together with inactivated touchpad when typing.

Also a touchpad tab in System > preferences > mouse seems desirable.

Thanks.
