I'm just going to edit out everything after the "Moreover" in your bug
description. The first bit definitely sounds like a bug to me, but the
rest is a completely separate issue that gets its own priority level,
patch, assignee and status. Generally, a bug report should represent a
single task ;)

Please feel free to open additional bug reports as you see fit.

** Description changed:

  When gnome-control-center / "Mouse and Touchpad" is used on a Desktop,
  the "Touchpad" tab is not displayed (only the "Mouse" one shows). This
  made complete sense until recently (Desktops normally don't have a
  Touchpad).
  
  However, with new wireless/wired touchpads (like Apple Magic Trackpad,
  Logitech Wireless Touchpad, new keyboards with embedded touchpads, etc),
  actively supported by Kernel, this is not the case anymore.
  
  If a touchpad is detected, even on a Desktop, wired or wireless, the
  "Touchpad" tab on g-c-c / "Mouse and Touchpad" should be displayed.
  
- Moreover, the touchpad settings should be expanded and improved. These
- devices come with WIndows drivers and software that allows for
- 2/3/4-fingers gestures, speed/sensitivity, corners-actions, inertia
- settings. On Ubuntu (and Arch and other distros), people came up with
- udev and keymap based workarounds. But it would make sense to have it in
- a GUI for the ordinary users. gnome-control-center / "Mouse and
- Touchpad" seems to be the correct place.

  I have already discussed this in Ubuntuforums
  (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12128572#post12128572) and
  Brainstorm (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/29977/). In both cases I
  was advised to post this is a bug.
  
  Regards,
  Effenberg
