Also there should be quite straightforward option to disable
two-finger scrolling.
Rationale:
Two finger scrolling is subject to driver and hardware support issues.
There are some hardware configurations reporting multitouch support,
but in real life they may perform terribly. Since multitouch is not
yet mainstream in Linux, many configurations are untested and if a
poor person has such hardware configuration he/she would probably want
to disable bad multitouch tracking.
