I'm running xorg 1.8, no HAL. I have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf. In it I've configured my touch pad to use two finger scrolling, and disable edge scrolling.
Normally, this is my .xinitrc:
exec ssh-agent pekwm
I installed GNOME and changed it to this:
exec gnome-session
When I run startx, multi touch scrolling no longer works, and edge scrolling is enabled.
I guess GNOME overrides the xorg settings so that it can control the mouse via it's own mouse applet. In the mouse applet, the two finger scrolling option is greyed out, though, so I can't forget my manual x11 configs and use the applet.
I want GNOME to honor my xorg configs. How can I do that?

A temporary solution to my particular problem:
pacman -S gconf-editor
gconf-editor
# Go to /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad
# Set "scroll_method" to 2
There seems to be a problem with GNOME not properly detecting that my machine supports two finger scroll, so the option for two finger scroll is greyed out in the settings panel. Setting it manually as described above works.
Also, you could go to /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins and uncheck the "active" button.

Here's the very exact source of the problem, for the record

For some reason, data[3] isn't what it should be.
