I've already investigated, that I should use 'synclient -s -l'. That 
were confusing all my tries... The bug should be closed, though some 
problem with X configuration interface (without -s) may still exist. 
Thank you!

yes, this is documented

if you use shared memory you should set options using synclient -s.

probably no, just mis-calculated values. Could you try the latest
version and verify if this is still happening?

as far as tapping is concerned this also seems more likely to be your
problem, it has been discussed in multiple bug reports[1] and you should
set 
TapButton1=1
TapButton2=2
TapButton3=3
