Bug confirmed in the Netbook Remix 10.04 (Lucid) release. Taps are still 1-2-3 instead of 1-3-2, and I don't see any configuration options in the Mouse preferences panel to change it.

Two-finger scroll works like a scroll wheel, which clicks as mouse3 on most mice. A two-finger tap physically mirrors a chording click on a regular 2-button mouse/trackball/trackpad/trackpoint, which I expect to produce a mouse3 click as it has for more than a decade now. Up until a year ago, Ubuntu standardized on mouse3. All of our two-finger conventions point to mouse3.

1-2-3 makes the user experience inconsistent, too. Two fingers on the pad gives me mouse2, while two fingers on the buttons gives me mouse3?

I didn't think we needed to discuss *whether* 1-3-2 was a valid decision, just how to bring it back. 1-2-3 should be a supported user customization, not a default.
