Looking some more at X log. Isn't the touchpad button behavior managed
by synaptics not evdev?

man synaptics says 3 button is always on:
Middle button emulation
Since most synaptics touchpad models don't have a button that
corresponds to the middle button on a mouse, the driver can emulate
middle mouse button events. If you press both the left and right mouse
buttons at almost the same time (no more than EmulateMidButtonTime
milliseconds apart) the driver generates a middle mouse button event.
And that seems to be so. I ran xev. Clicked once with the left button,
once with the right button, once with both:
ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91740290, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES
ButtonRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91740387, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES

state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES
ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91754379, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x0, button 2, same_screen YES
ButtonRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0xad, subw 0x0, time 91754555, (94,61), root:(645,373),
state 0x200, button 2, same_screen YES
you can see the synaptics driver is sending "button 2" events for a
double click!
But double-clicking is the same as left-clicking.
So maybe a midbutton click is mapped to leftbutton?
Is this X, xfce , something else? What handles the button events?
