Workaround for Jamie :

Disable touchpad with;
xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 
"Device Enabled" 0

Enable touchpad with;
xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 
"Device Enabled" 1

Works in a terminal for my touchpad, you might need to tinker the 
commands a little for yours. See 'man xinput' for more info. For 
practical use create keyboard shortcuts to run the commands to turn the 
touchpad on and off.
