Bug#704732: gnome: Setting certain touchpad options makes it impossible to login

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+7
Severity: important
If I open the settings window, from the top right user menu, and navigate
to Mouse & Touchpad, then click the Touchpad tab:
Then I set:
- enable clicks with touchpad
- two-finger scrolling
if I also set "Disable touchpad while typing" this causes a number of serious
problems the next time I logoff and login:
- even though the checkbox is checked, I cannot click with touchpad
- the background style of the settings box has changed, with borders
in different gray colour around the groups of icons
- if I open a Terminal, the colours have been changed to
black text on black background
If I then reboot and try to login again, Gnome will not let me in, giving me
a small dialog saying something like "Something bad happened, you can't
login." and then returns me to the gdm3 login.
If I "rm -rf .gconf" and start again, but avoid changing the setting of
"Disable touchpad while typing", then things work fine.
Thanks,
- Chris
