Tapping setting is also not preserved across suspend/resume.

I'm having the same problem. Regarding behaviour reproduction. This is actually triggered when network manager changes state (disconnects or switches to another connection).
Logging on/off, suspending, hibernating the machine will always disconnect network manager thus trigger the bug.

I'm having the same problem. It's really annoying, this is an unpleasant regression. What's the status of getting this fixed?

Comment 5 Matthew Saltzman 2009-07-24 20:16:21 UTC
This is a dup of Bug #496770.  The resolution is there.

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 14:52:02 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 7 Matthew Saltzman 2010-04-27 17:51:07 UTC
This should probably have been closed as a dup of Bug #496770.  In any case, gnome-mouse-settings seems to have pretty much replaced the functionality of gsynaptics.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 12:57:58 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
