Are there any plans on some sort of fix for this? I'm really hoping
there's something workable by 12.04. I'd imagine ubuntu currently has
significantly more touchpad users than touchscreen users and they should
not have significant missing functionality missing, especially for an
LTS release.

Would some sort of option in CCSM be a possibility? Or automatic
detection of a touchpad that could enable this? Seems a bit odd that as
mentioned above disabling the offending plugin still doesn't seem help
things. Disabling the plugin isn't something I can test though, as a
separate bug in the synaptics driver (mentioned above I believe) is also
causing trouble with 3 finger taps without unity.

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

  Confirmed
Status in uTouch:

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Xorg fails to recognize a 3-finger click as a middle-button-click when
  Unity is running and instead thinks it's a left-click.  This bug only
  happens in Unity 3D. It does not happen with Unity 2D or Gnome Shell.

  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.
