Dude, you were dead on. Thanks!

I 'make uninstall'ed the latest pbbuttonsd-0.5a and gtkpbbuttons-0.5a and 
rebuilt the older versions, and the conflict is resolved. Back to normal 
trackpad behaviour, and the newer *pbbuttons offered me no real advantage 
over the older ones.

cheers, this one's been stumping me for a few days now!

ciao,
