I actually found a temporary solution (it was on ubuntuforums):
1. Install gsynaptics (Touchpad in the Software Center).
2. Unmark Disable touchpad while typing is not marked in Mouse
(System-Preferences-Mouse-Touchpad).
3. Unmark Enable touchpad in Touchpad (System-Preferences-Touchpad).
It
I think this should be added to 100 paper cuts for Lucid
