Has anyone used this on Debian with absolutely no issues?

My understanding is that gpointing-device-settings has a plugin for
gnome settings daemon


Interesting settings can be found with gconf-editor at /apps/gnome/peripherals 
.  The priority for loading plugins is found at 
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/pointing-device and also in the keys of 
other plugins.


It seems that gpointing-device-settings stores settings in a way that conflicts 
with gnome's regular configuration, ie. it uses different keys to store the 
same settings, or it stores a setting in a way that affects many other 
gnome-native settings.  gpointing-device settings stores settings in 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/sy...@47@2...@32@synapt...@32@TouchPad , while gnome 
stores them at /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad . I suppose it becomes a 
little complicated with the trackpoint, since gnome probably sees it as just 
another mouse.


Maybe we should play with the priority of these gnome-settings-daemon plugins.
