Since gnome-control-center still needs HAL for correct device detection and gpointing-device-settings is already using devicekit, it should be possible to to use gpointing-device-settings with gnome-control-center istalled. Please fix.
(In reply to comment #1) > Please fix. Please send patch
the blocker is in gpointing-device-settings.
blocker dropped but it will be good if gnome teams still reviews this change. It was added because g-c-c has parts of the g-p-d's functionality: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-control-center/commit/?id=e14a84a718d9882d320de1f359c0547836a9b4e3 and thus g-c-c-2.28 uses following gconf keys: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/disable_while_typing (boolean) /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/tap_to_click (boolean) /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/horiz_scroll_enabled (boolean) /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/scroll_method (integer) while g-p-d uses different keys. I'm not sure if this is a problem, but probably either g-c-c or g-p-d will fail to disable touchpad if both are installed. But there are still some advantages of having both installed, thus blocker was dropped. So if somebody disagrees, please, reopen bug.
I just upgraded to gnome-2.28 and one of gnome-settings-daemon-2.28 or gnome-control-center-2.28 provides same functionality as gpointing-device-settings under mouse menu on gnome settings, as said above. With the drop of package block, there might be a problem.. People that were using gpointing-device-settings and are upgrading to gnome-2.28 will have their touchpad settings under gpointing-device-settings overridden by new gnome-2.28 mouse settings, during session start. People unaware of this will be confused because clicking on gpointing-device-settings has immediate effect but those settings won't be preserved across sessions. When writing the gnome-2.28 upgrade guide, please don't forget referring this.
