It seems that the synclient MaxDoubleTapTime setting (or setting MaxDoubleTapTime in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d\50-synaptics.conf) does not govern the Synaptics double-tap.
Instead, the Synaptics touchpad is responding to a GTK2 setting.in which the default double-tap time is 250 ms. To change that per-user (and there is probably a global setting somewhere -- wish I knew where), create ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the content like: gtk-double-click-time=400 though values up to 1000 are sometimes suggested.
