Actually we may be blocked waiting to see if the first fix for James'
issue lands:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-
devel/2018-January/036475.html
We should include that if it does.
The second fix for James' issue we can ignore providing it stays a
kernel problem:

** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #104533
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104533
** Description changed:
Some laptop touchpads are annoyingly unresponsive when the software
implements any kind of hysteresis. This is a regression caused by the
introduction of libinput, visible on at least Lenovo X1 Carbon gen 4 and
5, Dell XPS 13, and Apple Macbook Air.
WORKAROUND (1)
1. Log into "Ubuntu on Xorg" only. This workaround only works for Xorg.
2. sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
- 3. Tweak your personal preferences using 'synclient' (the GUI settings won't work any more).
+ 3. Tweak your personal preferences using 'synclient' (the GUI settings won't work any more). For example:
+ synclient HorizHysteresis=0 VertHysteresis=0
WORKAROUND (2)
1. Downgrade to version 1.9.4-1 of libinput: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libinput/1.9.4-1/+build/13855729
That version contained the fix for this bug, briefly.
