[Bug 868400] Re: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running

[Sebastien Bacher]

> As long as we have commitment that this will be fixed _if ever_ an SRU
for oneiric is released

our current process doesn't permit us to commit to that sorry, we will
try our best to think about that fix if we do a SRU (not likely), but it
could well be that e.g the security team issue a security fix and
doesn't include any other fix with it

Bug description:
  Proposed a SRU package for oneiric

  [Summary]

  Patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ossug-hychen/gnome-settings-
  daemon/fix-868400-oneiric/revision/184

  bzr branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~ossug-hychen/gnome-settings-
  daemon/fix-868400-oneiric

  [IMPACT]

   * touchpad is disabled sometines because 2 syndaemon instances. (one is launched by lightdm, anthoer one is launched by current user.)
   * ALPS touchpad does not use syndaemon, so ALPS users will not be impacted.

  [TESTCASE]

   1. kill gnome-settings-daemon
   2. check syndaemon has only 1 instance after gnome-setitngs-daemon re-launched

  [Regression Potential]

   * the patch is from gnome-settings-daemon package in precise
   * the risk is low because the patch only add the code to make sure syndaemon be killed if gnome-settings-daemon is killed

  
  [ORIGINAL REPORT]

  Synaptic touchpad stops working, seen on a few different Thinkpads.
