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.

Title:
can't enable touchpad in Ubuntu (thinkpads)
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
On my Thinkpad T410 I have a touchapd and a trackpad. When I log in only
trackpad responds. I tried to manualny enable touchpad, but it didnt work
(xinput). I also tried alternative software like gpointing-device-settings with
no effect. The bug is present in Unity and Gnome 3 desktop. I also tried xfce4
which works fine. In Ubuntu 11.04 in classic gnome i had no problems switching
between those devices using fn+f8. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.
