hmm. i believe this has been a very bad decision :)
1. users expect tapping to work. i don't know about other operational systems,
but as somebody noted, on other systems it works by default.
i expected it to work - i almost filed a bug that it's broken...
2. the argument that it should be changed because gnome has it disabled by
default is not valid.
a) the purpose of the distribution for many people is to have software defaults
changed in case developers hav no idea about usability ;)
b) suse changes lots and lots of defaults from the upstream - even in places
like bash.
i understand and fully support the drive for consistency, it's just that i
believe in this case reaching for a minor improvement (consistency) a major
problem has been created - just look at all the users being confused...
additionally, this is a significant problem with the live cd, which was the
first time i noticed tapping not working and considered filing a bug. i did not
file one because i was SURE this glaring and simple bug would be with a patch
shortly after the release.
so i would suggest reopening this issue and changing the default for the
tapping to be enabled.
