--- Comment #1 from Duncan <1i5t5.dun...@cox.net> ---
*Extremely* bad usability not to have the only pointing device available, a
buttonless touchpad in my case, not enabled with tap-to-click by default.

Twice now, while testing whether a bug exists with a clean/blank user config
(empty home dir), I've ended up without a working pointer and had to
keyboard-navigate to the touchpad kcm, then tab/arrow/space/enter/alt-A-apply
to enable the touchpad and tap-to-click, after which I have at least /basic/
pointer functionality to do the rest of basic config before I can test whatever
bug I was testing.

I can only imagine that a normal new-to-plasma user would simply assume it's
all broken and without a working pointer or knowledge of how to get out of
plasma without one, may have to actually restart the computer and never *ever*
try *that* again, meaning never trying plasma again, in ordered to avoid the
breakage!

(Meanwhile, I'm confirming the bug, and given the invitation, moving it to
systemsettings.  After that I'll try to switch the component to touchpad, but
it's still giving me neon comonents and not switching to systemsettings
components, until I save the systemsettings change.)
