Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.18.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I've a Synaptics touchpad and it's working fine on my Toshiba Satellite U400
Notebook, but the touchpad menu in Gnome Settings -> Mouse & Touchpad is not
available as per the attached screenshot, so I'm not able to activate the tap
to click functionality.
I've tried using the TapButton1=1 option in
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf but it's overridden by gnome.
Currently, as a workaround, I use a script at gnome startup forcing
TapButton1=1 and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf for remaining
options.
The touchpad is recognized correctly as per the following output.
BR

Stefano
