After upgrading to Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 I have found that if I tap my touchpad it clicks which is something I do not want due to a faulty touchpad, previously I was able to disable this through the gnome-control-center, but seemingly there is no way to do this any more through there, so how do I do it? Also, even though it is set to false in gsettings and the dconf-editor seemingly for some reason somewhere in the system it is also set to true as it is behaving as such. I am also unable to set natural scrolling or any of the other touchpad settings seemingly, why not?

To be able to set these settings through Terminal or through the gnome-control-center you need to make sure that you have xserver-xorg-input-libinput installed. It appears to be a bug that it is not already installed by default, in order to install simply run:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinput
After doing so and then logging out and in again you will find new settings in the gnome-control-center's Mouse & Touchpad settings:
You should now also be able to set the touchpad settings through the dconf-editor and gsettings in Terminal.

I just installed gnome-control-center in Unity, and the tap-to-click check box is there, just to the left of two finger scroll and natural scrolling.
