See this bug report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554884

Short version is, touchpad tap was disabled in X to make it consistant
with Gnome defaults.  KDE does not enable/disable by default instead
picking up on whatever X is configured to do.  So since touchpad tap
is now disabled, KDE picks up on that "new" setting and no more
touchpad tap.

You have to install Synaptiks or kcm_touchpad to be able to enable
touchpad tap and other touchpad behaviors you're used to with KDE4 in
11.2.
