Just want to make a layman's post on this bug: first, for those like me using unity and don't know where to mess with your touchpad (mouse area) settings, just search 'system settings' in your dash. Then you'll see 'mouse and touchpad'. Now my update: it seems that by unchecking the 'disable touchpad while typing' box the freezing of touchpad (and Skype, interestingly) seems tohave been resolved. I have done about three reboots and have not seen the freeze yet. I'm on an Aspire One Acer 257-1814 with Ubuntu 11.10. If I don't post back, it worked.
