Alex,

The mutter fix does set its own settings for TapButtons. And gnome-control-center (for reasons unexplained) has no GUI to configure it. But you can affect those settings by installing and running 'gnome-tweak-tool' and then set:

  gnome-tweak-tool > Keyboard & Mouse > Touchpad > Mouse Click Emulation = Fingers

which is the same as TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2.

If that's not enough then you can also force your own settings by running command 'synclient'. Once you know the synclient syntax you want you can apply it automatically at login by running 'gnome-session-properties'.

And if that's still not enough then you can also log a bug if you like:
