It did not work :-(
I my regular account a grep for 'tap-to-click' in ~/.conf does find a
match in ~/.conf/dconf/user. So setting this option through dconf or
gsettings is probably the right basic idea.
On Debian the gdm3 user is called 'Debian-gdm' and its shell is
'/bin/false'. So I su-ed to root and ran the following command:
sudo -u Debian-gdm gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true
But I got the following error:
(process:26300): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf:
Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch
--autolaunch=f856067f8571c63f807f753100000009 --binary-syntax
--close-stderr': Child process exited with code 1
I'm not sure where to go from there. ~/.conf/dconf/user is a binary file
so editing it directly is out.
