Bug#1068103: Cannot disable touchpad acceleration after upgrading to GNOME 46

[Josh Triplett]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 46.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: josh at joshtriplett.org

After upgrading GNOME to 46, the touchpad seems to have some sort of
acceleration enabled: it feels like it has a painfully large amount of
inertia.

I've tried
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad accel-profile flat
and that doesn't seem to change anything.

If I run
libinput list-devices
all three mouse devices show this:
Accel profiles:   flat *adaptive custom
