Try this:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/synaptiks?content=114270
Homepage: http://synaptiks.lunaryorn.de
I just tested it - works for me.

You may have to install some python-libs (on my openSUSE: python-pip). Just 
follow the instructions. Then call /usr/bin/synaptiks: In the systemtray 
appears a icon for configuration. 

Regards,
Thorsten
