Just adding the line is not enough, you also need an "InputDevice"
section that makes use of that driver. If you want to use both the
touchpad and the trackpoint (and both sets of buttons) you need two
separate "InputDevice" sections and mention them both in the
"ServerLayout":

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Trackpoint" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

[...]

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Trackpoint"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Device"   "/dev/input/mouse1"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Touchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Device"          "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option      "Protocol"        "auto-dev"
        Option      "LeftEdge"        "1700"
        Option      "RightEdge"       "5300"
        Option      "TopEdge"         "1700"
        Option      "BottomEdge"      "4200"
        Option      "FingerLow"       "25"
        Option      "FingerHigh"      "30"
        Option      "MaxTapTime"      "180"
        Option      "MaxTapMove"      "220"
        Option      "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option      "MinSpeed"        "0.06"
        Option      "MaxSpeed"        "0.12"
        Option      "AccelFactor"     "0.0010"
        Option      "SHMConfig"       "on"
        Option      "RTCornerButton"  "0"
        Option      "RBCornerButton"  "0"
EndSection

It's not WM-dependent, it's GUI-toolkit-dependent. It works great in GTK
and QT applications.
