Well, it seems that others have run into this as well and that the issue
might be the result of the introduction of a more specific
driver/features (for Alps touchpad) which accompanied breakage, er "new
features", of the more generic driver...

Some embarrassingly slight changes to my google search terms popped up
this conversation from this summer (I am just waiting for google to
release the tool that knows what I am looking for before I ask. Either
that or the end of civilization which would clearly come if they took
the old deja-news archives off-line again...):

http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/1af60302c31aa4bf/f0e91763bafea020?lnk=st&q=touchpad+sensitivity+2.6.12&rnum=1#f0e91763bafea020

So, I guess I will have to break down and:

a. read that thread
b. change drivers to the more specific Alps driver...
c. perhaps tweak some parms to get it to stop interpreting random mouse
movements as clear statements that I would like to delete files and
trash my desktop...
