On Precise, the uTouch gesture stack sits on the client side of X. For
it to work properly, touch events need to be emitted. Unfortunately, if
the X synaptics input module is listening for three touch gestures
(three touch tap for middle click, for example), this will prevent the X
server from sending touch events, which blocks uTouch gestures.

We decided to disable three touch gestures in X synaptics by default. It
is still possible to enable them by using xorg.conf or the
synclient/xinput utilities. For example:

$ synclient TapButton3=2

will enable three-tap to middle click emulation.
