I have seen similar bugs to this, but this bug involves something that
only seems to appear when Intrepid is upgraded to Jaunty.

In my upgraded install, I have tried gnome-mouse-properties (disabling,
reenabling), but this has no effect.

This bug is also tracked on launchpad; I was directed to submit the bug
here as well, I'll be happy to help in any way that I can.

Tapping is disabled by default in the driver. Does Ubuntu enable it by default?
If you enable tapping in the fdi files, does it work then? 

what's the output of xinput --list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"

into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi enables touchpad click.

Ubuntu enables touchpad tapping by default in both Intrepid and Jaunty,
but the upgrade to Juanty disabled my tapping to click functionality.
I'm trying to track down the issue so that upgrades from those versions
do not break the original Ubuntu functionality.

I also uploaded the output of xinput --list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics
TouchPad" previously, and had uploaded more information to the launchpad
bug indicated in my original report.

Sorry, I need clarification here - do you mean it works if you add this?

so a quick check showed that intrepid hat 0.15 and jaunty has 0.99. In
between those versions, the tap got disabled by default. So it needs to
be explicitly enabled.

Since merging the fdi key works I claim that's not actually a driver problem but a problem with:
- ubuntu's packaging (if they claim that tapping is enabled by default there must be a ubuntu patch enabling it)
- gnome-mouse-properties

The output of xinput shows that tapping is indeed disabled, so whatever
was supposed to enable it didn't work.
