Thank you, Andrew. I had a similar file,
~/.config/autostart/tapenable.desktop, put there by running
Preferences | SessionandStartup, except
Exec=/usr/local/bin/touchpadfix
That's what DID NOT work for me.
I replaced that with your file, which also doesn't work.
That is, after running startxfce4, synclient lists the synaptics
options, including TapButton1 = 0
Oddly, I can manually change it in an xterm with
synclient TapButton1=1
and this value applies to ALL X processes, including an already
running firefox session, not just the xterm it was run in.
Why won't the <name>.desktop files do the same?
More importantly (to me), why does xorg.conf fail to initialize these
synaptics options (as it used to)?
I guess it's time for a bugzilla report, if only I knew which component
was culpable - xfce-4.8, kernel, X, etc.?
