Hi, I had this problem too, and worked out it was the GNOME mouse preferences. Touchpad/Enable mouse clicks with touchpad was disabled. There's also an option to enable two-finger and horizontal scrolling. http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/06/incomplete-roundup-of-touchpad-features.html has a list of what features can be controlled from the GNOME GUI.
