I applied the last patch (thanks) and revoked the changes I did in
/usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

Following the hints of Michael (thanks) I have now in my ~/.xinitrc file
this section:

# TouchPad / ClickPad section
#
device="Cypress APA I2C Trackpad"
xinput set-prop "$device" "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1
#
# for those who like "natural" scrolling:
#
xinput set-prop "$device" "libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled" 1
#
# this gives three buttons in the lower part of the TP:
#
xinput set-prop "$device" "libinput Middle Emulation Enabled"  0
#
# +------------------------------------+
# |                                    |
# |             main area              |
# |                                    |
# |                                    |
# +------------------------------------+
# |  button1   |  button2  |  button3  | ~10mm in high
# +------------------------------------+
#

#
# end of TouchPad / ClickPad section

With this I can

- use button1 click in the window title, hold it down and move it around
  with the finger in the main area;
- tap on any desktop or window decoration icon  
- select a word with double tapping or a full line with tripple tapping
  and paste is with a click on button2
- click and hold down button1, select any length of string moving
  another finger in the main area, release button1 and paste the
  selected chars with a click on button2;

Pasting with three finger tapping I get seldom to work. But, I was never
used to this.

Thanks
