Thanks a lot, this was indeed the reason why I lost these settings! I realized that since gsynaptics was also installed on my system, I had a "Touchpad" item in the Preferences menu, and because of that I didn't look at the GNOME Mouse menu. Thanks a lot for your help. I wonder if this is expected behavior that GNOME overrides the settings from xorg.conf but it is indeed what happened.
