Bug#570256: gnome-settings-daemon: Don't hard-wire multi-finger tap configuration

[Tony Houghton]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.28.1-2
Severity: wishlist

GSD hard-wires 2-finger taps to button 3 and 3-finger taps to button 2,
but I much prefer it the other way round. I've created a new gconf
setting "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/reverse_multi_buttons" so
users can choose which way round they want these taps/buttons allocated.

I realise this should go upstream, but creating a debian patch was the
quickest and easiest way to solve the immediate problem for myself.
Please let me know whether you want me to forward this upstream.
