To sum up my experiences to get "double tap and drag" working with my
"ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" on Oneiric:

1. I have the following settings with GNOME system settings for my touchpad:
* "Disable touchpad while typing" = checked
* "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad" = checked
* Scrolling -> "Two-finger scrolling" = checked

2. After 1. I have to set the following options with "synclient" (in a terminal):
TapAndDragGesture=1
SingleTapTimeout=320

That's it!

3. If you wanna have a "middle click" by tap with two fingers and a "right click" by tap with three fingers you have to change the following options with synclient:
TapButton1=1
TapButton2=2
TapButton3=3

Best regards!
