Hi Francois,

I am fresh fedora 11 user and was also searching for this setting in KDE to
tap on my T61.  I was unable to find it in the standard admin utilities.
However, I hunted and  found a utility 'gsynaptics' that is specifically
meant to configure the touchpad.  (just do "yum install gysnaptics").

Being a KDE user, I tried to see whether there was a 'ksynaptics' too. Turns
out there we have both 'ksynaptics' _and_ a 'qsynaptics', but of all three,
'gsynaptics' appears to be the only one out of alpha and it works well. :)

Best Regards,
Tarun
