[xubuntu] Touchpad settings being overridden

My laptop's keyboard is arranged such that when my index fingers are on the normal F and J keys for typing my right palm is resting on the upper right coer of the touchpad. This causes random pastes to take place when typing because of the synaptic RTBottomCoer setting. In Xubuntu 14.04 I had a startup script that tued that option off, but the same doesn't work in Xubuntu 16.04. It is getting overridden somewhere.

The script

Code:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/synclient PalmDetect=1
/usr/bin/synclient PalmMinWidth=5
/usr/bin/synclient RTCoerButton=0
/usr/bin/synclient RBCoerButton=0
/usr/bin/synclient ClickFinger1=0
/usr/bin/synclient ClickFinger2=0
/usr/bin/synclient VertEdgeScroll=0
/usr/bin/synclient HorizEdgeScroll=0
now=`date`
echo "ran at $now" > /home/keith/touchpad.txt

I stuck in the echo command just to verify the script is ruing at startup and it is.

Next, I tried putting the commands in the xorg config files. I copied /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-synaptics_overrides.conf (had to create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory) and inserted the options:

Code:

# Example xorg.conf.d snippet that assigns the touchpad driver
# to all touchpads. See xorg.conf.d(5) for more information on
# InputClass.
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, your distribution will likely overwrite
# it when updating. Copy (and rename) this file into
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d first.
# Additional options may be added in the form of
#   Option "OptionName" "value"
#
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but caot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:

        Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection

# and the right and middle top areas to be right / middle buttons on clickpads
# with a top button area.

    Option "RTCoerButton" "0"
    Option "RBCoerButton" "0"
EndSection

# This option disables software buttons on Apple touchpads.

        Identifier "Disable clickpad buttons on Apple touchpads"
        MatchProduct "Apple|bcm5974"

        Option "SoftButtonAreas" "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection

The Xorg log shows it as being executed:

Yet when I open a terminal window and run synclient, I see the following:

Code:

    RTCoerButton          = 2
    RBCoerButton          = 3

If I run my configure_touchpad.sh script manually in the terminal, THEN then settings stay changed.

What do I need to change in order to get my desired touchpad options to be set at startup and STAY SET?
