All that's a bit confusing for me. I have a synaptics touchpad, and I
was using really MUCH the three-fingers tap for opening links in a new
tab, closing tab, pasting selections, etc. I think that was such a
natural way of doing, that to say: change that for two fingers, is not a
solution I can accept. There is a BIG advantage on having the mid-click
assigned for three fingers: I use two for scrolling, and having two as a
mid-clicks can trigger this action by mistake if I touch accidentally
shot the touchpad, and then is much nicer to have the two-fingers-click
assigned to right button, so, it just triggers the menu, ans just
touching outside it get its out. Really fast and comfortable.

The problem (don't know if that's what Unity is doing to avoid the
three-finger-click) is that synclient -m 100 reports just one finger in
touchpad when there are three. And for me is the same in unity or XFCE4.
I cannot use he mid-click with three fingers, and, really, it's a
hell...... That should never be changed in that way, with no option to
re-adjust. It's not a new action. It's a BUG.
