OK, so we have 5 reports out of a total of 56 reports of all synaptics bug
reports ever filed. Not the bug raining day, but still a very unpleasant
experience with F9 and tapping.

Fixing it is easy, here is the patch

And for the ones too lazy to rebuild I've placed the fixed synaptics package in
ATrpms' testing area or you can get it directly from

http://atrpms.net/dist/f9/synaptics/

Bought my sanity back.
