I do not understand that say Kevin. I talk about No buttons around the
touchpad. I speak of the touch pad that allows you to do almost the
same as a mouse.
A lot users wants enabled by default these touch pad I say.

When lots of people who clearly aren't complete idiots tell
you
something happens to them, it's probably best just to accept
that it
does, because arguing that you can't possibly see how it could
possibly
happen to them is only going to make you look churlish.
It happens to Kevin, it happens to me, it happens to lots of
other
people, which is why the experts in the field have set the
default they
have. They didn't make it up out of thin air.

I do not want touch pad taps enabled by default. I do have the problem,
and most people I know have the problem that the touch pads are not all
sufficiently "debounced" to make this feature useful. Nor do most of
them handle multiple point touches well, or many other issues such as
dry hands that will cause skipping and be interpreted as taps.
Please, you can enable this feature if you want it, and if your touchpad
handles it well, then good for you.
Tapping is a "feature", not a characteristic of touch pad use, and as
such should be accessible to those who want it, but not enabled by
default.
Just my personal point of view.
