Gnome stopped detecting touchpad as tap to click

Hi folks,

This happened after my most recent pacman -- I have to actually click to click now, which is pretty non-ergonomic on modern laptops. I assumed it was the kernel but it doesn't seem to be, and I'm having trouble figuring out which package I might need to revert. Any ideas?

Reverting libinput seemed to do it. Looks like there's some kind of weird race condition which prevents gdm from actually starting gnome-shell under 4.6 one time out of three though...

Re: Gnome stopped detecting touchpad as tap to click

to which version did you downgrade? 1.2.4 doesn't work for me. Wayland doesn't have this problem, but then I can't launch Nautilus from the applications menu...
