[RFC PATCH] sync: Fix logic error from b55bf248581dc66321b24b29f199f6dc8d02db1b

That commit adds two hunks, and I _think_ they're backwards.  It adds
code to modify bracket_greater on NegativeTransition triggers, and
bracket_less on PositiveTransition triggers.  That breaks symmetry with
the surrounding code; the code as of this commit could probably be
simplified further.

I can't keep the sync trigger rules in my head for more than about five
minutes at a time, so I'm sending this on for more eyes.  RHEL 6.3's
xserver is shipping with b55bf248 reverted:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748704#c33

And there appear to be some upstream reports of the same issue:

    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658955

So I'd like to get this sorted out.
