I agree touchpad owners should have the option of disabling Unity's 3
-finger-touch gesture handling and getting 3-finger middle button
emulation back. Such a general fix for touchpads would be in unity
itself. I am only working on fixing clickpad support right now in
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.

The fix proposed in comment #35 is only intended to fix clickpads right
now. However if you have a touchpad, then it is very helpful to know
that the fix doesn't break anything. :)

  Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click)

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.
