It's very difficult to find a really good title for a bug.
In short: We don't use the buttons around a touch-pad. If we want to perform a click, we tap on the pad. The standard configuration until jaunty was, that tapping with two fingers performs a mouse3 click. Unfortunately this changed in karmic and lucid. Now we have to use three fingers in order to perform a mouse3 click, which can't be done by normal humans.

I use these multi-touch capabilities very often and it would be great if
lucid restores the old behavior.

My use cases:
* Scroll through websites by using two finger scrolling.
* Click at items on the screen by using single-finger tapping. (mouse1)
* Open links on websites in new tabs of Firefox by using two-finger tapping. (mouse3)
* Open the context menu of an item by tapping on the right lower corner of the touch-pad with one finger. (mouse2)
