The source of my problem is a hilarious commit message from the libinput project which disables tap-to-click on touchpads, because, in their words,

* if you don't know that tapping is a thing (or enabled by default), you get spurious button events that make the desktop feel buggy.
* if you do know what tapping is and you want it, you usually know where to enable it, or at least you can search for it.

I'm exercising my restraint to the maximum when I choose not to spend the rest of this post calling B.S. on this. With libinput, however, the hits just keep on coming. Where is this configuration stored?

libinput does not store configuration options. It is up to the caller to mana

Consider the following tree:

|
-- file1.tex
|
--dir
  |
  -- file2.tex
  |
  -- image.eps

Here's a barebones version of file1.tex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\input{dir/file2}
\end{document}

Now, here's the contents of file2.tex

\includegraphics{image}

How should I go about compiling file1.tex? Simply issuing the following command does not work (can't find image-eps-converted-to.pdf):

pdflatex file1

So, what's the proper, LaTeX way to compile file1.tex?

I'm basically trying to work with gnuplot's epslatex terminal. Currently, I produce standalone plots, which I compile to PDF and in

As I said, I'm pretty sure that it used to work just like backspace, but recently, I've been noticing that it does nothing. It comes in handy when you're typing out something in all-caps and you want to backspace without letting go of the shift key.

It works as expected outside of X, but doesn't seem to work anywhere in kde (I've tried browsers, yakuake/konsole, kwrite/kate, etc.).

So, does anyone know how to enable this?

I'd like to, but whenever I try to open a doc file, I get the annoying error message saying it could not import file of type application/msword.

In the past, this used to be cleared up by installing libgsf. I already have that installed, in addition to koffice-filters. Still, no cigar. Everytime I try to open a doc file, I get that irritating error. Reinstalling libgsf makes no difference.

Any thoughts on how to get it to work?
