            Bug ID: 339743
           Summary: KDE not honoring options in
                    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.12.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: igor at sai.msu.ru

I need to change an option MaxTapTime for my ALPS touchpad. It is not in the
gui of the KDE settings. So I set it in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
to e.g. 400. Xorg log file shows that the option is processed. However, after
login to KDE, the parameter is still set at 180. Apparently KDE overwrites the
option and sets some default value for it. The only workaround I found is to
write a script setting the option via synclient and put it in the Autostart
directory. I did not check if this happens with other options but probably yes.

KDE should either provide a possibility to change ALL options via gui, or
respect the options which are set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf and
not overwrite them.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set an option (e.g. Option "MaxTapTime" "400") in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.
2.Log in to KDE.
3.Run synclient -l | grep MaxTapTime.

Actual Results:  
Step 3 above gives the value of MaxTapTime = 180.

Expected Results:  
Options set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf should be honored.
MaxTapTime should be equal to 400.
