reassign 619800 gdm
thanks

To the gnome maintainers: It's probably just a configuration issue,
either gdm or X, if gdm can be configured for that, please help! :)

So you are saying that "touchpad's mouse click" is
 1. not working in gdm
 2. working in gnome
Right ?

By "touchpad's mouse click" what do you mean ?
 - using your touchpad buttons ?
 - using tap to click ?

I'm guessing this is a configuration stuff, either there is a way to tel
gdm to use the same configuration as your GNOME user, but I don't know
how (gnome maintainers please?).
Or you can configure your touchpad directly in xorg.conf, see [1]
synaptics configuration (synaptics is the driver for all touchpad
regardless of the actual brand).

Hope that helps.
