I utterly agree. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a
_proper_ change and a desirable change. The best fixes are both proper
and desirable. (Oh do I have loads to say about that WRT sound.)

In the case of tap to click, I agree with Rick's decision to ship it
disabled, particularly given our position in the Karmic cycle.
