Misunderstanding -- my point is, the trackpoint AND touchpad react for tapping.

Nope. And this would not work -- see above. I cannot disable everything because
it reacts for tapping.

Nice. I will come back to this later.

I agree! Totally. So why do you not want to help people like me -- with tapping
disorder?

Hmm, my first and last user whom I let to touch my computer (novice) tried to
move the entire touchpad (like a wheel in a mouse) :-)
And touchpad is so popular because it has no alternative in laptops really. But
let's get back to topic.

Good one :-) I didn't know that.
Thank you for your comments, I see your point but I try to make installation
process more safe. My another suggestions:
a) how about something similar you described for RMB?
b) how about option on a side for disabling tapping?
c) how about just info on a side -- num lock on, caps lock off, tapping on?
