Your edge parameters are wrong. You should read the README provided with
the synaptics driver. (/usr/share/doc/xorg-driver-synaptics/README.gz
for me)
It describes How the edge parameters are defined. Running 
"synclient -m 1" will write out the data sent by your touchpad. Use that
to figure out what values are correct for _your_ touchpad. I found that
most values I found on the internet were wrong for me.
It's also a good oportunity to ajust the pressure and time values for
clicking (no more accidentally clicking for me since then..).
