Marcus, I am not saying that anything is somebody's fault -- I am just wishing
for a tool :-) and I am willing to discuss the best options.
Touchpad is configured by sax, yes, it technically works by default, but I
doubt that anyone work with such configuration -- scrolling everywhere makes
you dizzy :-) It is not only my opinion, user is simply out of control.
The best thing is to come up with good design, relying on bad design could only
lead to another bad design -- and this just an example of such case.
User should have one configuration tool for mouse/touchpad -- currently she/he
has to use __3__ different tools to configure mouse (for example one for
setting scroll, one for setting area for scrolling, and third for setting the
speed of mouse movement). I think it should all be configured in yast -- if
this forces change in X configuration/implementation and DM integration (maybe
even better), at least it is well designed.
So the notion should be rather to somehow make X accept changes on the fly, not
to drop good idea because X has to be restarted.
All in all, I don't think closing this report as WONTFIX is good, at least
LATER would be more appropriate. I don't like comparisons, but do Windows and
Mac users have to use 3 programs to set up their touchpads? I doubt it.
Btw. I am not complaining, or anything like that, I use suse for a long time
and I see how it is getting better and better (I like what 10.3 has to offer),
but it is just really surprising how limited opensuse is here. And it is hard
to explain why opensuse with KDE is so powerful (to newbie) when on the other
hand it is so difficult to set up the mouse.
