@Jeremy, Yes, installing that and then logging out and in again solves the problem and even adds a new section to the gnome-control-center's Mouse & Touchpad settings. This package should really be installed by default and as a dependency of something.

But I have found that after upgrading to GNOME 3.20 on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 that all my gsettings for things like natural scrolling and tap to click are being ignored and it doesn't matter what I have them set to, they are doing what they like. I have also seen others experiencing the same issues. This is what dconf-editor shows me the settings are set to: dconf-editor_touchpad_settings.png And yet even though the tap to click option is set to 'false', my touchpad is acting as though it has been set to 'true' ever since the upgrade, same for natural scrolling. As I have said, these are the only settings that I have noticed this with, however I have not really tested it with any of the others so I cannot say for sure how many settings this issue affects.
