I finally got time to test this but none of the recommendations on
that post worked.
I finally found GNOME bug 747811 which indicates that this should really
be configured through gsettings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747811
The trick is to issue a xhost command first:
$ xhost +SI:localuser:Debian-gdm
$ su
<password>
# DISPLAY=:0 sudo -u gdm gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true
I'm not sure why the access permissions of the logged in user are
relevant to the gdm3 configuration but that worked.
I'd also expect to be able to set this up by adding a file in
/usr/share/gdm/dconf/ but I tried the lines below and they had no effect
:-(
cat >/usr/share/gdm/dconf/50-tap-to-click <<EOF
[org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad]
tap-to-click='true'
EOF
