I do not agree with the last sentence: it is not a bug for upstream, but it is definitively a bug for the end-user and, according to Nattie report, even a regression. As you pointed out, however, there are two issues: first, the change in the default behavior of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and, second, the fact that gpointing-device-settings does not correctly detect the initial situation. Again, as you pointed out, the latter was already reported, both in Debian (#572956) and upstream, and because of your reasoning I have merged the two bugs. ATM and AFAIK, the only possible solution is the system-wide one you pointed out, even better what explained on Ask Ubuntu, thus activating the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/class-touchpad-tapping.conf: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ## <file:////usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/README.Debian> ## <http://askubuntu.com/questions/12435/how-do-i-restore-two-finger-middle-click-again> Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad-tapping" MatchIsTouchpad "true" Driver "synaptics" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "TapButton2" "2" Option "TapButton3" "3" EndSection --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Finally, the above solves the default configuration, not the per-user one, since any customization is lost after logout: <https://bugs.debian.org/615092> Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
