[Bug 754000] Re: Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)

 

What is the difference between click and tap?
Can I disable Unity getting in the way? I've tried to disable "Unity MT Grab Handles" plugin in ccsm, but it didn't work, obviously.
I have an old Eee PC 901 and I doubt that the touchpad has real multitouch capability. So for me it's a major regression because I still can't use three fingers to move/resize windows and will lose the ability to omit copying and pasting any needed text.

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.

  Please note this bug is about physically "clicking" a clickpad with 3
  fingers. 3 finger tapping is different and has been intentionally
  overridden in Unity 3D by new gestures.
