I also believe that improved control of touchpads in laptops/netbooks etc is
necessary.
But NOT disabling the trackpad/touchpad completely! Here are a few reflections
and suggestions:
1) In my opinion the most logigical move is automatic disabling the
touchpad while typing with a user-defined
@ #8:
I full-heartily disagree with what you say. The reason why you would
want to disable the touchpad is because you have some other means of
interacting with the pointer. Fact of the matter is that some people
(myself included) tend to put their hands on top of the touch pad from
time to time
100 paper cuts!
One fix would be simply to have gsynaptics installed by default on a laptop?

Agree. I'm using synclient TouchpaddOff=1 to turn the touchpad off
completely, but it starts working again after a few seconds.

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
confirmed gsynaptics workaround.
to the developers - please fix this. Let me reiterate that we need to
disable the touchpad completely (and not just disable while typing)
for situations such as gaming - especially if you have large hands.
thanks

seconded for addition to papercuts - The fix is easy and hugely impacts
usability on laptops.

Me too. I really want this feature. I has a script to disable touchpad
completely when mouse attached by setting
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/touchpad_enabled. Now the script is not
working anymore.
Or else, having Disable touchpad when mouse attached option would be
good :).
