there are enough configuration paths besides Gnome: udev policy,
xorg.conf, even a sesion startup script to run synclient TapButton2=2
TapButton3=3... problem is, gnome-settings-daemon walks all over that
and loads its hardcoded configuration, and then resets whatever you
configured manually using synclient every time an input device is
added/removed.

The most logical step would be to make gnome leave the predefined
configuration alone; if one knows how to change that, it's most likely
someone who knows what they're doing (or has received copy'n paste
advice from someone who knpws what they're doing).
