	I've never bothered with QuickSynergy, just Synergy itself. On the host 
machine, I created ~/.synergy.conf, and added /usr/bin/synergys into 
Startup Applications.
	For the clients, I just add /usr/bin/synergyc host's-hostname to it's 
Startup Applications.

	Nothing fancy. Here's en edited version of my .synergy.conf file: (I 
used the FQDN for each machine in my real file)


    section: screens
        macOSX105:
        Win7:
        Ubuntu111064bit:
     end
     section: links
         macOSX105:
            left = Ubuntu111064bit
            right = Win7
         Win7:
            left = macOSX105
            right = Ubuntu111064bit
         Ubuntu111064bit:
            left = Win7
            right = macOSX105
     end

	Ubuntu is the host, and the Win 7 & Mac OSX 10.5 machines are the 
clients. I've had a WinXP machine & and iPhone in the mix as well before.
	The Win 7 (which is joined to an AD Domain) laptop dual boots to Ubuntu 
11.10 also.
