This actually isn't a wishlist item if you ask me. If you read up on KSynaptics it states that the entire touchpad surface should be disabled. Also don't confirm your own bugs, however I will confirm because I receive this same issue. Now I am not 100% sure this is a KSynaptic issue, or a Xorg issue. If I set the following option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf then I can get the full feature to work. Truthfully KSynaptic should be smart enough to set this option if possible.
