Connect Bluetooth headset turns off touchpad tap-to-click, nat scroll

A couple months ago my old System 76 Gazp9 with Cinnamon began turning off the 'ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad' "tap to click" and "natural scroll" preferences when it sees my Soundpeats RunFree headset connect. The GUI System Settings and dconf still see them enabled, I have to manually disable and re-enable them to bring back my chosen preferences.

xinput sees the actual state and can fix it immediately:

[loren@Gazp9 ~]$ xinput list-props 11 | grep 303
        libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled (303):       0
[loren@Gazp9 ~]$ xinput list-props 11 | grep 295
        libinput Tapping Enabled (295): 0
[loren@Gazp9 ~]$ ./tap.sh
[loren@Gazp9 ~]$ xinput list-props 11 | grep 303
        libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled (303):       1
[loren@Gazp9 ~]$ xinput list-props 11 | grep 295
        libinput Tapping Enabled (295): 1
[loren@Gazp9 ~]$ cat tap.sh
xinput set-prop 11 295 1
xinput set-prop 11 303 1
[loren@Gazp9 ~]$

Is there a way to automate this fix, or prevent the changes?

No, I don't have any relevant /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions...  Where else might I look?
