What happens if you just run synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 in the terminal?

Yes, I know. Dropbox does that. But does anybody else with my relevant specs (Intel SSD, Statler x86, Dropbox) have a similar problem or a solution?
I have tried recreating the problem by mounting and unmounting a remote directory through sshfs/fusermount, suspending the computer and so on, but nothing except for time (about 24-30h uptime seems to do the trick.
Does anybody have a clue where I should look? Does Debian keep a log of mounts and unmounts?

So, guys, i seem to have a unique problem with my install, or at least i can't seem to find anything about it in the forums. It seems like my /home partition randomly unmounts at certain times. I can't find any particular pattern to it, it's just like I open a terminal to do something random and nothing happens. So i type ls, which makes the terminal hang pwd doesn't, though, and it says that i'm in /home/avart. If I open thunar or pcmanfm, nothing really happens there either, but if I open thunar to / instead of /home, i can see my directories. This leads me to believe that the problem is that my home partition has unmounted, but why?
I would assume that this is because of something i did when I tried to optimize my fstab for my SSD, but I can't really find out what i've done wrong. Can you? Is it because Dropbox added the xattr attribute to my /home?
This is my /etc/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

UUID=65ed69f7-82f1-41f9-9418-359b72e89eeb /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 0 2

Does anybody else share the same problems?

Hello guys, I'm sorry to bother you with one of the most frequently asked questions i've seen on this forum, but i'm afraid that nothing in the other threads has been able to help me.
I've got a Thinkpad Edge laptop with a Synaptics touchpad, capable of basic multi-touch such as two-finger scroll and two/three-finger tap.

On other distros, i've always been able to configure this with the synclient commands, and I thought that i could do this on #! too. But alas, even though I can see that the value is modified when I run synclient -l, I can't get two-finger functionality to work! Edge scrolling works perfectly, and is controlled as expected by synclient, but nothing involving several fingers wants to work.
Do any of you guys have any idea why this is?
I'm on the 2.6.36-2.dmz.5-liquorix-686 kernel and running the latest #! iso i could find.

[EDIT]

I finally found the answer! Using synclient will never work, because of some regression in Debian Squeeze. Instead, use the script found in this thread: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=58834 and drop it in your autostart.sh.
