I used to configure my trackpoint and touchpad w/ gpointing-device-settings, this way cfgs are non-persistent. I achieved persistency through the following method:

prepend the following to the launch of the wm in ~/.xsession

xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint' "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1
xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2
xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 200
xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' "Synaptics Palm Detection" 1
xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' "Synaptics Off" 2
xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 6 7 4 5
