[apologies for the dup, my GMail compose window was somehow
stuck on HTML and the vger lists bounced my message - here
it is in plain text]

Sort of a "me too" - on my Dell E6400 I get the touchpad stuck or not
moving correctly (almost stuck, or way too fast) - in those cases it's
enough to take fingers off touchpad and use the stick for a second,
everything resumes its normal operation.

I have these in the logs, not sure it's the same issue as the one I am
describing, but likely the same as Dave's submission:
