I've made the current fix available for natty and oneiric in
ppa:vanvugt/unity:

    https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/unity

The natty version has been well tested on a Macbook Air. The oneiric
version isn't yet tested.

Please try it and let me know how it goes for you, along with the
details of what machine/touchpad you are using and your
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file. Hopefully we can iron out the kinks soon
(which have only been reported for a Dell so far)...

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.
