[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#516523: [touchfreeze] does not disable touchpad unless SHMConfig is enabled

[Filipus Klutiero]

Package: touchfreeze
Version: 0.2.3-1
Severity: important

TouchFreeze does not disable the touchpad unless the X SHMConfig option is 
enabled. Since that option is not enabled by default, TouchFreeze "doesn't 
work" by default. This is well documented in README.Debian, the actual 
problem is that the interface (which is launched from the utilities menu) 
does not give any clue about this. When started in console, it whines:

$ touchfreeze
SynDaemon::SynDaemon

set daemon true
set pad true
using typing delay of 500 ms
"/usr/bin/synclient"
initial state is TouchpadOff= 0
dstart typing
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

Good old ksynaptics used to notify the user appropriately.
