Well, the point of this thread is that we can't do all three :). We're 
past the feature freeze, and I don't have the time to hack up a solution 
that enables them all at the same time :(.

Do you have a preference between having multitouch click and drag vs 2 
finger click for right click?

Tap to click is still possible, and a two touch tap will still trigger a 
right click. However, tap to click is not enabled by default. Check in 
the mouse and trackpad settings for the option.
