    I have a ThinkPad T42 that can do this, as well, and this is what I
    thought when I first encountered this problem. However, I've had this
    Gateway laptop since about 1999 and it hasn't done this since. Not in
    2.2 or 2.4.

    Also, like I said, xev produced no output when I touched and dragged
    in the offending areas.

    If this really is an added feature and there's a way to turn it off,
    that would be okay. Having it off by default would be best since it's
    seemingly a changed behavior between one kernel version and another
    (also, I hate that feature :) ).
