Title:
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
To manage
Get the following error... "set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config
to use GSynaptics" when opening Touchpad. How do I apply this fix? I have no
idea; only know how to install deb packages and do not know how to use terminal.

For those still having the problem: try something:

The alert in intrepid still refers to xorg.conf which isn't used anymore. So

As this is bugging everybody over a year I think that it's time to get this

Confirm that this occurred in Gutsy and still occurs in Alpha 6.
Also, there is a discrepancy between the gsynaptics error message,
which asks if SHMConfig is set to "true" while the help.ubuntu.com
directions on synaptics prescribes that it be set to "on". Either
way gsynaptics cannot initialize.
