Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  LSB version = karmic
  Package version = 1.1.2-1ubuntu5

  Expected behaviour:
  Tap the touchpad with 2 fingers simultaneously to generate middle-click event. Tap with 3 fingers for right-click event.

  Observed behaviour:
  A 2-finger tap generates a right-click event and a 3-finger tap generates a middle-click event.

  
  Looking at the changelog for 1.1.2-1ubuntu1 I see this:
  "105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Swap the right/middle clicks generated by multi-finger tapping."
  This patch is then reverted in 1.1.2-1ubuntu2:
  "105_correct_multifinger_click.patch: Drop patch as it breaks the expected behavior for multitouch clicking (LP: #320585)."

  However, I still experience the behaviour introduced in -1ubuntu1.
  Hopefully I can help get the expected behaviour back in time for
  karmic's release.
