I have two issues with this change:
1. Touchpad tap is *enabled* by default on all KDE4.3.1 and 4.3.4 installs I've checked. I cannot find a KDE4 install (from oS 11.2) on a laptop/netbook where this is *disabled* as Stefan said.
What I said is that KDE does not enable it. I didn't say that it disables it. Apparently it's happy with the X default. BTW, if changing the default in KDE to enabled then we can forget about consistency again.
2. There is no Configure Desktop > Mouse option in KDE4 to toggle this back on for users that prefer touchpad tap (Gnome does have this option). Installing 3rd party apps such as Synaptics to control this is not an acceptable workaround.
Well, there is at least synclient. ;-)
Touchpad tap is a common thing on other common OSes. OSx has it.. Windows has it. Users coming from those OSes expect it in my observation. I don't care what the default is, but being able to switch it back on for users coming from OSX/Windows is rather important.
How should I know? I never use any of those OSes. This begs the question why GNOME believes it's a good idea to have it disabled by default. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
