Bug#737397: gnome-control-center: No option allowing to set touchpad setting for vertical edge scrolling

[Olivier Berger]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.8.3-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I can't find a way to activate the vertical edge scrolling settings for touchpad in Gnome (flashback session).

Using synclient VertEdgeScroll=1 on the command line works.

It seems it would have been possible to re-activate it on resume, with a hack like the script described in http://www.olivierberger.com/weblog/index.php?post/2013/12/29/Touchpad-side-scrolling-enabling-in-gnome-flashback (set through gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.input-devices hotplug-command) but that won't work at initial session start.

Also, it seems to me that settings are reinitialized to improper defaults by gnome between calls to the hotplug command, which kind of looks like #576456).

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
