Fedora tries to make various desktop environments available to its

possible, we follow the various defaults selected by the desktop
environment upstreams. Generally, this entails a disabled touchpad click
by default. This wiki page tries to compile the different methods that
can be used to enable "tapping" on various desktop environments.
