Interesting! Thanks, Michael.
On my system the properties all seem to match those in the Linux Syn/PS2 as
described in the synaptics(4) man page. It lacks "Tapping Enabled" and
tapping is enabled by defining "Synaptics Tap Action" bit mapped boolean.
If you plan to play around with these settings, I suggest reading that man
page which is available at
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/cosmic/man4/synaptics.4.html
