Bug Description

In Ubuntu 22.04, disabling Tap and Drag in dconf has no effect. The setting is changed in dconf, but the change is not propagated to libinput which is used by wayland.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set tap-and-drag to false using dconf

$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/tap-and-drag false

2. Verify that tap-and-drag has been set to false in dconf

$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/tap-and-drag
false

3. Verify that tap-and-drag has not been disabled in libinput

$ sudo libinput list-devices

This one bug has forced me to switch back to Windows as using Gimp with this feature turned on causes streaks across the image.
