touch pad drag while pressing

I have this annoying problem with the touch pad on CentOS 6.4.

To move a window, I need to click and continuing to press on
the title bar and `drag' while I am still depressing the
touch pad. Is it supposed to behave like this ?

How can solve this problem ? How to customize the touch pad ?

On Linux Mint 14, I just need to press the left key, and
use another finger to swipe.

$ dmesg | grep Syn
