I am not sure the gpointing-device-settings utility works any more. But
to disable "double tap to click", you can try this in a terminal.

$ synclient TapButton1=0

To get a list of all the options just type synclient.

To execute this everytime you login to XFCE put it in
~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc as a shell script.

$ cat ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
synclient TapButton1=0

Hope this helps.
