In 11.2 it just works, but causes during installation a lot of pain,
especialy when wanting to edit partitions etc.. It caused me to start
over the installation 5 times because of the unjust actions taken by
mouseover/selecting/choosing > wrong action: an error has occured >

alt+underlinedsymbol in 11.2, but in 11.3 it did not work anymore, i
just found the button configured too sensetive in 11.2....

No entrance in Kmenu here...

I'll try to install kcm_touchpad from community than..
The plasma desktop in KDE4 inn 11.3M7 has only: Configure desktop activity.
A mouse can be configured there, but no touchpad...
