OK - I'll see if I can find out about that. We previously had a similar 
issue on the X1C7 and that was fixed by a touchpad firmware update. I 
don't have a X240 myself but I'll see what I can find.

That's really interesting - thanks for pointing it out. I can see that 
being really useful - though I have to get my head around a bit more 
how/when it is used.

Thank you - that is very much appreciated.
I haven't so far got as far as thinking about the backporting stage so I 
probably need more education there. My goal so far has been to get fixes 
from upstream into sid so that Debian users can pick them up from there.
But being able to backport them from there would be brilliant.
