[ale] turnabout!!

[Van Loggins]

I still prefer the less than popular eraser-top type mouse pointers over 
touchpads. I guess this is why I like IBM Thinkpads so much.

Good to hear that this less than desirable trackpad behavior is easily 
fixed under linux and not so easily fixed under windows. :-D
