Unexpectedly, mouse tapping does not work out of the box while it does in Gnome3, KDE, xfce4 and lxde.
To the user, it is confusing to see that gpointing-device-settings shows that tapping is not disabled.
Moreover /var/log/Xorg.0.log does show that tapping is enabled.

However, MATE requires that the user enables /desktop/mate/peripherals/touchpad/tap_to_click with mateconf-editor (or a similar tool).

While this issue is not a deal breaker, beginners might be destabilized and left unable to activate mouse tapping.

Cheers and thanks alot for MATE!
