Are you saying that the settings are not retained? Does that happen only in Xfce or in GNOME as well? --- "The new upstream Synaptics driver disables tapping by default. You can trivially enable this in GNOME. System => Preferences = Mouse. Go to the third tab called "Touchpad" and click on the checkbox "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad". Settings in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi (which should be copied to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ before changing) will operate at the gdm login screen but will be over-ridden by the gnome settings once logged in. For other desktops where there is no synaptics gui interface, use the policy file to enable features or you can just enable basic tapping from a command line with: "synclient TapButton1=1", see "man synaptics" for further options.

Only rawhide should be there. You can disable the other repo which appears to have been enabled manually. Rawhide to general repo conversion will happen automatically. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_from_pre-release_to_final Verify with yum repolist post-release.
