This may be a deliberate UI change. I had the same problem. I found in UNR karmic daily 20091006 that the System Preferences "Mouse" setting now has a "Touchpad" tab, containing a checkbox to "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad" (and some other settings).

When I enabled it here, tapping on the touchpad started working.

This appears to be a regression, since in previous releases, tapping just worked without dinking with settings.

See ChangeLog here: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/gnome-control-center/gnome-control-center_2.28.0-0ubuntu4/changelog . It isn't specific about stating that they wanted to change this behavior.
