Bug Description

Binary package hint: ksynaptics

I saw there was a similar bug posted already, but I'm not sure if it's the same, as mine seems definitely related to stand-by/resuming. It does not occur when I kill X with Ctrl + Alt + Backspace or any other way.

I am on a Dell Inspiron 6000 on a fully updated version of Feisty.

Every time I stand-by, the scrolling of my touchpad stops working. Logging out crashes ksynaptics, and when I log back in, ksynaptics tells me "Shared Memory is not accessible, please edit SHMConfig = "On" in Xorg.conf". But, my xorg.conf file hasn't changed, and the SHMConfig = on is already set. Also, if I manually quit ksynaptics, it will also crash. The only way to get it working again is to completely reboot.

This happens to me 100% of the time on stand-by, and essentially makes stand-by useless (because I will just have to reboot to get my touchpad working correctly anyway)

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Stand-by with ksynaptics running
2) Resume
3) Logout or quit ksynaptics

Here is the backtrace information from when the program crashes.
