[Bug 621821] [NEW] touchpad left / right click buttons do not work

[pauls]

Public bug reported:

This new type touchpad has a left click in the lower left corner and
right click in the lower right.  These worked on lucid, but on maverick,
neither work.

Even though the left /right click worked on lucid, there was another
problem on lucid which occurred when attemption to select text.  After
pressing and activating the left click, any touch to the pad (to start
selecting text) immediately would cause the mouse to jump off the
nearest corner of the screen.  Thus text selection is impossible in
lucid.

I have no way to test this in maverick, since the click capability is
missing.

On both lucid and maverick, tapping the pad will result in a left click,
and bottom edge horizontal scrolling and right edge vertical scrolling
works.
