Ah, that is a bit of an issue then.  The touchpad drivers themselves
don't have any fine grained controls for turning off some gestures.  I
guess a bunch of sysctl variables could be added to do this but they
simply are not there at the moment - currently if the touchpad says it
supports a gesture then it will be reported.

Perhaps another approach is to just disable the double-click action in X
which is what you have been looking at but I think you are looking in
the wrong spot - the double click handling is more an application/window
manager function so you need to look there to prevent undesirable
effects.
