xfce4-mouse-settings does not work if several devices have the same name
When there are multiple input devices with the same name, it is impossible to change setting for device other than the first.
On my "HP EliteBook 845 G8 Notebook PC" SKU Number: 401N7EA#B1R "xinput list" shows:

$ xinput set-prop 16 "Synaptics Tap Action" 0 0 0 0 1 0 0To enable "Tap touchpad to click". Otherwise the change was ignored.
$ rpm -q xfce4-settings

VARIANT_ID=xfceI suspect that xfce4-mouse-settings assumes that device names are unique. Unfortunately it seems that only device ids are. I don't know if those ids survive reboot, connecting new devices etc. I don't know how to identify a device good way.
