[Bug 1722206] [NEW] middle button in kde with touchpad

[janl]

Public bug reported:

Got a thinkpad with a touchpad and KDE 17.04. The system settings input
control panel recognizes it and offers that top-right clicking on the
touchpad be registered as middle-click - as in X paste.  However it is
only recognized as a middle click intermittently, for the most part it
registers as a left button click, which is the setting for the pad as a
whole.  I've set a two finger click to act as middle clich which works.
But this contradicts almost 20 years of tochpad use/training.

So it does not work to set the different corner clicks...
