in the old gsynaptics there was an option to adjust the area used for 
the vertical and horizontal scrolling making it wider or thinner, this 
is no longer available and now my scrolling part of the touchpad is the 
*very *edge of the pad, making it very difficult to get it to work, will 
this functionality be put back into the new version?
