Hi, I had a similar problem: I wanted to configure the buttons for
single finger tap differently from the default which isn't possible as
gnome-settings-daemon has the tap button configuration hard-coded and
overwrites anything configured via xorg.conf, hal, udev, etc.

This is a problem which seems to create considerable confusion. Several
others have reported this before, see among others
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-
synaptics/+bug/457622> or
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1322497>.

I've created a simple patch that allows button configuration via gconf-
editor (see attachment). This is a solution that can easily be built
upon in gnome-control-center, if sombody likes to provide a more
accessible front-end.

The gconf settings to be set are:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/tap_to_click_(rt|rb|lt|lb)

It would be great if you could include this patch into the next release,
either here or upstream.
