Tap to click is usually the first thing I disable when I have installed a new OS, but this time I couldn't get rid of it. In earlier versions of Lubuntu, I was able to disable it by writing @synclient MaxTapTime=0 to /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart and save. But in Lubuntu 13.10 this method doesn't work any more. I can't find any solution on the internet either.
(If there was a checkbox in "mouse and keyboard" preferences in LXDE to turn tap to click on/off permanently, like in Unity, that would make both lovers and haters of this divisive feature happy. I don't understand how this feature could be thought of as something everybody wants.)

Click on the
Menuicon in your panel. ChoosePreferencesin the dropdown and then chooseCustomize default applications for LXSession. This is a new feature in Lubuntu 13.10. There's no documentation that I know of as yet.A screen will open as shown below:
Autostarttab. You should see something like what is shown in the image.config-onlyappears next toDisable autostarted applications.Manual autostarted applicationsand next to+ Add, type insynclient MaxTapTime=0Customize default applications for LXSessionwindow.~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart. You should see a line withsynclient MaxTapTime=0. There's no need to do anything. Just close the file.Tap to clickshould be disabled now. This works for me in Lubuntu 13.10.
