Public bug reported:
It seems that syndaemon is not working properly and never reactivates the
tap-to-click functionality.
The problem occurs only when I use the enter key to validate my password on the
login screen. If I validate with the mouse, the touchpad is working correctly.
(It took me hours of investigation to figure out why it was always working with
guest account: because I do not use the keyboard to log in)
When broken, I make it work again with synclient TouchpadOff=0. In that
case tap-to-click is not disabled when I use the keyboard. Syndaemon is
running but seems to be stuck.
