Yup, albeit on a mac.

No, I was using xf86-input-synaptics. Using -clickpad made no difference in 
behaviour.

Hmmm. Thanks for the pointer.

This functionality isn't so bad (apparently, I almost never use right click 
anyway) - I think I'll just live with it until I have time to dive into the 
source to change the behaviour to what I want (possibly submitting a patch to 
make it configurable).

Thanks for the help.
