Bug Description

Mouse settings display all "mouse-like" HIDs, although do not have device specific settings, like touchpad or touchscreen configuration. Moreover "acceleration" and "button order" look quite funny as touchscreen settings. If ubuntu or xfce team won't qualify this as bug, I'd like it to be converted to feature request :)

This also means we need to install other pointing-device-settings to be able to disable tap-to-click. I was able to install Pointing Devices and Synaptiks. Pointing devices does not show up in any menu; Synaptiks shows up in the "Accessories" menu instead of the "Settings" menu.

The settings' dialog has been reworked upstream, it should be fine even for touchpad in Xfce 4.10.
