nmahale, on further inspection, I think the scrolling problems I was seeing 
were caused by conflicting services.
The kde touchpad config manages the feature of disabling the touchpad during 
typing by installing a 'kded' service. This basically consists of a QTImer tied 
to keyboard events to enable/disable the synaptics touchpad. Meanwhile, 
syndaemon has a similar feature built in, which is enabled by default (at a 
2sec delay). This is why I was still seeing the feature in effect after 
disabling it in the kde touchpad config dialog.
So, seems likely that there's a conflict between these two daemons. I've 
encountered no problems since disabling the kded service (relying solely on 
syndaemon).

However, even if two services were running... it seems like they'd both
operate by trying to enable the touchpad after a fixed interval. There
shouldn't be a problem with two services trying to re-activate the
touchpad at the same time, right? Two services sending an activation
signal at the same time shouldn't cause the activation to be lost. Maybe
there's some problem there worth exploring, but it's undesirable to have
redundant services anyway...
