In Lucid, it seems to remember the circular_scrolling on/off setting, but the circular_scrolling_trigger value is not getting written to gconf, so is lost between reboots.
I also confirm the reporter's secondary bug ("Also, when I first start gpointing-device-settings, my SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad is set to off (even though it works). I can choose "Touchpad on" from the drop-down menu although this doesn't seem to be necessary.") which ought to get its own bug number.
