Automatic right click when not intended

I'm facing this strange problem. The right-clicked context menu appears out of nowhere near the mouse, even when I'm expecting it to. This happens while I'm making a normal one finger tap, or simply moving the mouse on the touchpad, or even sometimes when I'm only using the keyboard of my laptop.

I was going through this wiki page and wanted to check on the settings. After changing the 'TapButton2' and 'TapButton3' settings in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf' file, it's current content looks like:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "0"
        Option "TapButton3" "0"
EndSection

And the output of 'synclient' shows as:

Parameter settings:
    LeftEdge                = 1754
    RightEdge               = 5230

    TapButton1              = 1
    TapButton2              = 3
    TapButton3              = 2
    ClickFinger1            = 1

    PressureMotionMinZ      = 29

    AreaRightEdge           = 0
    AreaTopEdge             = 0
    AreaBottomEdge          = 0

The values of 'TapButton2' and 'TapButton3' still shows as '3' and '2' respectively, even after I changed both of them to '0' in the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf' file. Even after restarting the system.

The touchpad works properly for me in Ubuntu 10.10, and I'm facing this problem in Arch only. Please suggest how to identify and fix this auto pop-up of the right-click context menu.
