I have a very similar configuration to jlgoolsbe and yet the gpointing-device-settings settings are not persistent on my Dell Studio. TwoFingerScroll is greyed out in the gnome settings, but I can activate it in gpointing-device-settings and then it works. However, after every suspend/hibernate/restart, I have to untick and re-tick this option in gpointing-device-settings to make it work again.
