Re: synaptiks – KDE touchpad management

[Roman Shtylman]

I think we need to evaluate the features of both modules and create a
list of what we want from a touchpad configuration module. I think
both modules have things we can take from them.

Whatever "base" module is chosen I think that it would be wise to make
it use "kde" coding conventions...whatever that may mean. At some
point... someone is gonna have to bite the bullet and probly add the
missing features on top of the chosen module.

After taking a quick look at the kcm_touchpad code, I don't think it
would be a nightmare to migrate those features over. The daemon part
(and config) of synaptiks seems to be the big keeper from that module
and the  scrolling and other "user tweaks", for lack of a better word,
seem to be the big takeaway from the kcm_touchpad module.

It would make sense to put this on the platter for 4.5 (IMHO)
