Bug Description
Tap-to-drag on the touchpad of an Acer Aspire One does not work in Karmic, worked fine in Jaunty.
I don't see an option to fix it in the Mouse preferences panel. Actually, after running the mouse preferences panel, tap-to-click stops working also.
This is for a Karmic install updated through July-28-2009, though it seems to have been true at least since Alpha 2.

OK, an update: I have now found a workaround in that setting desktop- >peripherals- >touchpad- >tap_to_ click to true in gconf-editor, tap-to-click and tap-to-drag start working just fine. But now the Mouse preferences panel still does not affect that check mark... turning 'Enable mouse clicks with touchpad' in that preferences panel has no effect whatsoever.
I'm updating the bug name to reflect that...
