Does a typical user expect tapping/vertical edge scrolling to work out-of-the- box or not? I think the answer is definitely YES. So if upstream decided to disable it (for reasons I still barely understand), I think it is a good idea to offer a user to choose another default. At very least, this example is worth to be added to /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/examples/ and a note in README.Debian.
The bad thing about configuration in DEs is that configuration usually becomes DE-only. I prefer xkb to be configured globally for the settings to be shared among DEs. The same applies to synaptics. As for HAL, when it gets dropped, you will simply update the package. -- Modestas Vainius <modes...@vainius.eu>
