Comment 61 for bug 754000

Are there any plans on some sort of fix for this? I'm really hoping there's something workable by 12.04. I'd imagine ubuntu currently has significantly more touchpad users than touchscreen users and they should not have significant missing functionality missing, especially for an LTS release.

Would some sort of option in CCSM be a possibility? Or automatic detection of a touchpad that could enable this? Seems a bit odd that as mentioned above disabling the offending plugin still doesn't seem help things. Disabling the plugin isn't something I can test though, as a separate bug in the synaptics driver (mentioned above I believe) is also causing trouble with 3 finger taps without unity.
