Public bug reported:
This has been an issue for quite some time, and I think it deserves some
serious attention for the 14.04 LTS release.
There is no way to enable/disable (or adjust) drag lock in Ubuntu
without going into a shell and using xinput. It would be nice to have a
checkbox to enable/disable drag lock, and possibly set the lock timeout
value as well, though a hardcoded value might work OK too. I have my
"Synaptics Locked Drags Timeout" to 500 and it feels like a good natural
delay. (the user can always tap again while locked to force unlock like
on other OSs).
