This sounds great. I'm so glad that Macs are getting better support as a primary native Ubuntu platform. >We can enable the right button area by default for all clickpads.

However, people >coming from OS X also expect to be able to click and drag with two fingers... If you're coming from OS X, isn't control-click the gesture equivalent to a right click? I don't think that's currently supported on Ubuntu, and it may be too late for Precise, but I think that would be the ideal way to handle things for the easiest migration from OS X to Ubuntu.
