I tried some more mouse/touchpad drivers to no avail. To summarize:
 * xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: tap-to-click but no right click
 * xserver-xorg-input-libinput:  right click but no tap-to-click
 * xserver-xorg-input-mtrack:    dead touchpad, mouse works
 * xserver-xorg-input-multitouch:dead touchpad, mouse works
 * xserver-xorg-input-mutouch:   dead touchpad, mouse works

So no matter what, touchpads are broken in GNOME and so far as I can 
tell nobody cares :-(
