Title:
  Add two-finger scrolling/two-finger tapping to Touchpad options

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  I did notice that options for touchpad tapping, vertical scrolling, and horizontal scrolling are now included in the Mouse preferences.
  This is definitely a great improvement over having to configure these options in xorg.conf - hardly a trivial task for new Windows converts.

  However, there are still a few options that can't be configured from here that would be incredibly helpful to have here.
  The particular options I am referring to are:

  * Sensitivity options - this is one of the things Walt Mossberg complained about in his Ubuntu review...
  * 1/2/3 finger tap - allow these to be assigned to right, middle, or left click as the user wishes
  * two-finger scrolling - this is what Macs use by default, and the synaptics driver allows for this.  
  * circular scrolling - also available through Synaptics driver
  * corner taps - these are quite useful on my MacBook, as I errantly tap a lot but still want an actual button for right-click

  Also, it may be a good idea to use Mac-like defaults for appletouch
  touchpads and Windows-like defaults on all other touchpads - that way,
  everything behaves as the user expects it to (in most cases)...
