For people like me, I like the opposite as I have 'heavy hands' and thus 
just touching the touchpad will cause it to click.  It is a real pain to 
deactivate it (just as it is for you to activate it.)  I guess so many 
folks complained to Fedora or the driver package creator that they 
changed this action.  Fortunately, it is simple to turn back on.

Now to see if my old trackpoint is supported as well....(This feature 
should be non-selectable as it does not have tap-to-select hardware.)
