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.
