Hi Ian,

I understand the sentiment, but such a change would cause untold number
of complaints from users who are used to two-tap being right click :).
It would be a huge behavior change, so I don't think we would do it.

BTW, I think you may be able to change the mapping of number of touches
to actions by fiddling with the xinput props for the trackpad device.

Bug description:
  as soon as i put down three fingers, the love handles appear. on the
  macbook pro a middle click is done with a 3 finger click. this is very
  low priority, and i could even see a wontfix. there's a simple work
  around to just not put all 3 fingers down at the same time and then
  click after all 3 are down.
