OK, so...

Both disabling tap-to-click and enabling disable-touchpad-while-typing work properly, in both "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu on Xorg", when I remove the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package.

I suppose that means this bug is invalid, BUT...

1) It still seems like a bug to me that installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics breaks stuff. Shouldn't both the settings app and gnome-tweak-tool be able to tell when that X server driver is being used and behave appropriately?

2) I don't believe I ever installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics by hand, so I assume it was a holdover from before I upgraded to 17.10. So is it a bug we should be paying attention to -- or documenting in the release notes, or SOMETHING -- that upgrading from before 17.10 to 17.10 or later is going to break anyone who has the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package installed before the upgrade?
