Of course implementing a setting in gnome-mouse->touchpad would be desirable and I don't understand why they don't. KDE has a nice GUI configuration tab.
Anyway, a quick workout in Ubuntu Natty, working in squeeze as well, is to add a tiny script in autostart, working "per user":
synclient TabButton2=2
synclient TabButton2=2
I seem to recall it has been already mention here and elsewhere.
BTW Gnome might have their good reasons, but I _do_ use two finger tapping a lot and find three finger usage a bit awkward. and less precise.
