I just wanted to post this here in case it helps someone. Gnome Display Manager by default disables touch-to-click on laptop touch pads, even if you have it configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf. It's easy to enable it in Gnome shell (and in fact it's enabled by default), but this doesn't affect GDM.
An old Debian thread has suggestions for creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/ with options similar to the ones in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf : http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=347944
I tried to make a .desktop file with the options from 50-synaptics.conf, but it didn't work for me. What did work for me was to disable the Wayland backend (used by default) in GDM following these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GD … rg_backend
I guess it makes sense that Wayland doesn't use the Xorg config files... after disabling Wayland I could click by touch-tapping the touch pad during the GDM login screen.
I don't know how to make it work with Wayland, but at least this is a quick and easy fix.
