Synaptics middle button emulation does not work

[Frank A Ekern]

In Fedora 9 the middle button emulation (i.e. pressing left and right
buttons simultaneously) does not work with synaptics.
I have disabled the Touchpad and is only using the "pointing stick" (i.e
"GuestMouse"). 
As a test I enabled the Touchpad, and the middle button emulation
worked correctly with the two mouse buttons located next to the touch
pad, but it still did not work for the mouse buttons used for the
pointing stick.
(I have now disabled the touchpad again as it is pain in the wrong
place.)

The middle button emulation has worked correctly in Fedora 7 and Fedora
8 on the same hardware.

The hardware i am using is a Dell Latitude D830
