Title:
Tap-to-Click at login screen for principle of least astonishment
(POLA)
Status in gdm:

Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I've observed many end-users who are confused by the lack of ability
to "Tap-to-Click" on their touchpads at the login screen after
boot(and screen-lock?). Most---if not all, of these users are
migrating from MS Windows or another system which does _not_ prevent
this technique.
In accord with the old axiom:
“You Never Get A Second Chance to Make a First Impression” – Will
Rogers
Let's not let this be the first negative experience that converts and
first-timers run into!
Tap-to-click on touchpads is enabled and works normally during the
Ubiquity installer.
I'm not sure if libinput is to blame, but I do notice that I
frequently have to enable the tap-to-click function in gnome-settings
after first login.
