How do I change touchpad sensitivity in OO?

Does this only happen in OO? All others apps work as expected regarding touchpad?

Hi MM...

Good point. It just happened as I was writing this email, and it happens
whenever I
am going someplace on my desktop from some other place--
for instance, a few minutes ago, I was trying to do something an before
I knew it, every minimized app / doc in my system tray was flying open.
Apparently I had tickled them inadvertently.

Thanks for your quick response!

Hi Jeff,
In that case, the easiest way to configure your touchpad would be installing qsynaptics (or ksynpatics depending if you're using (k)ubuntu).

For that you need to this:
1- System -> Administration -> Software Sources, Add a tick to 'Community-maintained Open Source software' (in case you don't already have it).
2- install qsynaptics: sudo apt-get install qsynaptics.
3- configure xorg.conf (always make a backup of this file prior to any change. I put vim, of course you can use your favorite editor):
sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Look for a section like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection

and before EndSection, add:
Option "SHMConfig" "true"

4- you should be able to run qsynaptics now (for example from teminal) where you have the means to adjust several configuration options for touchpad (you might need to restart x11, for that do: CTRL+ATL+BACKSPACE).
