Tap to click is an essential feature to enable by default. From experience it was incessantly annoying when disabled by default in fedora. Quite a lot of newer laptops (including my eeePc) depend on it as the either have harder to click physical buttons or some have none at all. Fedora seems to have a better version of the options panel which allows control of tap to click. For whatever reason the options do not work in the karmic version so that is what this bug is about (I think), if the default options are different then old versions and are being applied as expected then I will file another bug for it. Users generally expect their touchpads to be fully functional out of the box and do not want to look around the options just to get basic stuff to work. I am a big fan of two finger scrolling but it should be enables as well as traditional edge scrolling (touchpads have marking on them giving the expectation of it) as well, both vertically and horizontally.

Right, that is enough antagonising for now - good luck in sorting everything out for another great release :-)
