Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity-2d

The three launch icons applications - files & folders & Trash - you have now lost the ability to tap the touchpad to launch both the applications and files & folders. You seem to have to right click to choose menus. Why?

Its not particularly clear why tapping the touchpad actually launches the trash window, but doing the same for the other two grayed icons doesn't.

hmmm... seems like reporting bugs doesnt copy any system info for you. Just to make clear. I'm on maverick and have updated using the latest todate packages in the unity-2d ppa.
