[Lilug] Disabling 3-finger-gesture at boot or login?

The Three-Finger gesture which brings up the task switcher (alt-tab 
equivalent) is a pain in the rear for me because i have shaky hands due 
to medication (tremors), strange enough i like the two-finger scroll and 
don't want to lose that

Googling for 20 minutes this morning, i eventually ran across these 
commands:

synclient TapButton3=2
synclient ClickFinger3=2

Essentially it disables the three-finger-tap/click (if i understand it 
right)

I was able to put this into my .bashrc so the first shell i open up will 
turn this off

However, where is the  "right"  place to put this?  So i don't have to 
open up a shell first.

Should i put this an an rc.d (init) startup script?  Is there a shell 
(unity) start-up script so i don't have to put it system wide?

My ideal solution would not require root access (as /etc/rc5.d directory 
entries would require), but I am willing to do that.
