Now I've tried synclient.

First I had to enable SHMConfig, which in 10.04 is done
in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf (I learned).

After running synclient -m 1 I moved my finger really slow towards the right
and between time 9.651 (x=5979) and time 9.691 (x=8176) the touchpad made
"the jump". Since this is the coordinates on the touchpad and no
acceleration is noticeable---there is an actual "jump"---the problem seems
to lay in the "transition" from the regular "move-the-cursor" area into the
scrolling area. The questions is why the cursor jumps and not just stops at
x=5979 when my finger enters the scrolling area?
