OK, I know this is kind of specialized, but it may work on other machines, too.
Due to the recent update to xorg, gsynaptics was deprecated, and replaced by gpointing-device-settings, which is very nice, but didn't seem to enable tapping on my touchpad.
Modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf did nothing, although I probably wasn't making the correct edits.
What did work was entering the commands, synclient TapButton1=1
synclient TapButton2=2
synclient TapButton3=3I wrote a simple bash script:
#!/bin/bash
synclient TapButton1=1
synclient TapButton2=2
synclient TapButton3=3made it executable and saved it as ~/.kde/Autostart/tapping.sh
