I'm using OS X Snow Leopard, on a Macbook Pro.
Is there any way to "tap to click" (on the trackpad) instead of pressing down on the trackpad when interacting with the login screen?
It's not really that big of a deal, but I'm curious.

This Mac OS X Hints article explains how to do this.

EDIT: Or, a user suggestion:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1
EDIT2: Since I don't have a Mac with a trackpad and OS 10.5 or later (The only Mac with a trackpad I have access to is a Powerbook running 10.4), please let me know what the output of
ls ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver*
is. Hopefully you'll have a file like
/Users/jnet/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
which you can copy to /Library/Preferences to make this behavior work.EDIT3: I'm playing with a MacBook Pro at an apple store right now. I think the file is
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
-- Try copying that file to/Library/Preferences/
