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.
