Was there a discussion on this default change that I missed? People expect it to be enabled, in my humble little opinion.

I expect it will be disabled but enabling it is simple enough via System->preferences->mouse - though as you say I would prefer it enabled as default.

Is there a KDE equivalent of system->preferences->mouse? I know about the command-line synclient command, but that's not persistent across logins, and that in theory it should be possible to configure things in xorg.conf although none of my efforts in that direction have yet succeeded.

afaik only gnome allows you to change the persistent tap2click touchpad default *post-login*. To re-enable tap2click for KDE, XFCE, other WMs, and system-wide (including gdm), users are expected to manually copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ as root, and then uncomment (correctly) the TapButton settings.
(I do wish the tap2click default would stop flipflopping)

Thanks for that information. It doesn't seem to be working properly for me, but I suspect I missed a comment or something and will play with it later.
At any rate, the synclient works well, I boot into runlevel 3 and do much of my work in console, so I just have the three commands in .xinitrc.
synclient TapButton1=1 synclient TapButton2=2 synclient TapButton3=3
that seems to do the job. (I assume that people booting into runlevel 5 can put it somewher

To reply to my own email, I see what happened--they reversed it in 10-synaptics--they had TapButton2 equalling 3 and TapButton3 equalling 2.
I don't know if that's standard or not, but at any rate, fixed it and all is good.
Thanks again.

There was no discussion that I noticed (see my post a day or two ago, when someone was kind enough to check their Gnome settings and see it's apparently disabled by default.)
(By that, I mean no discussion that I saw on this list, I don't know about the developer lists.)

Isn't this another upstream change - i.e. the new synaptics driver disables it by default, while the old one enabled it by default?

I've just installed f11 and it seems that the width of the vertical scroll area has been reduced. I've got a Dell Inspiron 9300 with quite a big step up (about 2mm) from the mouse pad to the case and I have to jam my finger into the corner to get the scroll to work.

For what it's worth, I haven't noticed that part. On the Asus EEE 1000HE, two finger scrolling was unaffected by this, only tapping was affected.

i also see this in F11 on my aspire one, (i've been meaning to file a bz) and i can see no way of fixing it, the windoze driver includes an option for changing the size of the scroll areas but there is no such option in the linux version :(

A change inherited from upstream like "dontzap" by default and others. It is usually discussed after the fact for that reason.
