I've been suggested to compile gnome-control-center with the hal USE flag disabled, but the problem persists. Experience the same problem since 2.28 upgrade. This is pretty annoying as I can't do right clicks anymore if it overwrites hal settings. There is a good chance upstream doesn't care about hal settings since they are trying to replace it with udev, but they could at least not overwrite already set values by default in the session. This deserve an upstream bug report if it doesn't exist yet. Someone already opened it, you can find it here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598820 I already posted a link to this page.

Adds tap-to-click button settings, with gconf schema update
Yuri Khan posted this patch on gnome bugzilla. I modified gnome-settings-daemon ebuild and it works. It's not the complete solution to the problem since it doesn't get back hal settings, but at least now it's possible to use two-finger-tapping for the middle click and three-finger-tapping for the right one.
I've discovered something related. On one of my laptops, tap-to-click stopped working in Gnome (but worked in login screen). Tapping in System->Preferences->Touchpad was switched on. The tapping started working after I swithed it on in System->Preferences->Mouse->Touchpad. This is, at the very least, confusing. The touchpad settings must be only in one place. I think you have gsynaptics installed, and that provides the System->Preferences->Touchpad menu entry; it is deprecated and should be uninstalled. This issue is now documented in the tentative migration guide [1]. Closing wontfix since there is nothing we will do to maintain hal compatibility here.
