Public bug reported:

I have always used this method in ubuntu to enable 3-finger tap on my
synaptics touchpad (and by the way, 3-finger tap works out of the box in
every non-ubuntu distro  /rant):


create a file called touchpad_settings.sh.
chmod +x touchpad_settings.sh
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.input-devices 
hotplug-command "/home/brandon/touchpad_settings.sh"

This way 3 finger tap is working and gnome always respects the setting
and doesn't reset it on suspend/resume. This worked perfectly in 12.04,
12.10, and 13.04. In 13.10 it just does not work. I double checked, made
sure I had the right path to the file, and that the file was executable.
If I manually execute touchpad_settings.sh it works, but when I boot my
computer it just does not seem to run the hotplug command, and if I
manually run the script and then suspend/resume, gnome disables the 3
finger tap upon resume, again not respecting the hotplug-command.

This is a big issue, this is the only way to get 3 finger tap working on
a touchpad in ubuntu.
