Use trackpad tap-to-click on login window and by default

I managed to get it working, but here's what I had to do...first, I deleted the key that had been written when my machine was in 10.4:

defaults delete /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior

Then I recreated the preference:

defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1

When I first activated the login screen, this didn't work ... but when I logged in then returned to the login screen, it was working fine. -rob.
