The 2-finger tap for right-click seems to work if I turn that on, and for
fun I checked 3-finger tap also... which apparently performs middle
click. Also, on a whim, I ended up changing the "click-method" from the
default of "fingers" to "areas" (the opposite of many blog posts I read
said to do), which works with the regular button press using:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'areas'

Apparently, there's no UI for that setting... you just have to know to set
it. *shrug*

Thanks!
