The issue with touchpads and clickpads actually overlaps a little bit in
code. The fix I have so far (which still needs work), does affect
touchpads and clickpads. But it will probably affect them differently...

The distinction between touchpads and clickpads is necessary because the
Unity designers have reserved 3-finger tap as a special gesture. I agree
this is very annoying, but reserving the 3 finger tap gesture does not
affect clickpad users because they can still do a 3-finger click without
triggering a tap gesture.

That all said, I know touchpad users still want a fix too, so I'll be
looking at a general touchpad solution afterwards.

P.S. Please make sure you can get 3-finger clicking/tapping working in
Gnome Classic or Gnome Shell. If it doesn't even work for you there,
then you're not experiencing this bug.
