--- Comment #1 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
yes. this is intentional for a couple of reasons First, keep in mind:
* two-finger tap is easier to trigger than a three finger tap
* two-finger tapping is reliable on virtually all touchpads, three-finger
tapping is an issue on many older touchpads

Now, with that in mind. 
* In most UIs right click is more important than middle click and should be
easier to trigger.
* in most UIs, right click is non-optional - some menu options are only
accessible via right click so having a working right click is imperative. I
think only OS X is the exception here.
* in most UIs, middle click is a hidden feature. Yes, it does things like paste
or 'open URL', but these are not obvious or even mandatory

So these arguments go in favour of the current setting.
There is other precedence: the average mouse has a dedicated right click button
but middle click is on the scroll wheel and harder to trigger.


So the main question is: what is your workflow that you need to change this
around and you can't use three-finger tap to middle click?
