Nick, what if you run 'gconftool --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true', does it work
then?
If yes, the issue is that your g-s-d settings have it disabled, and then
when you log in and g-s-d starts, it sets "Device Enabled" to "0", but
doesn't touch "Synaptics Off". The bug is in g-s-d and it's peculiar way
to touch both settings, where 'xinput disable' only touches the other
one.
