Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gpointing-device-settings

By default, Ubuntu will disable touchpads via gnome-settings-daemon when
XF86TouchpadToggle (Fn+F8 on ThinkPads) is pressed, and this is
accompanied by a notify-osd notification. This no longer functions when
gpointing-device-settings is installed, and the functionality does not
return when gpointing is uninstalled. This occurs with gpointing-device-
settings 1.3.2 and Debian's 1.5.1 package.

Gconf key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled is
normally toggled by XF86TouchpadToggle. The touchpad can always be
toggled by using this gconf key, but the keyboard button that
corresponds to XF86TouchpadToggle does not function on machines that had
at some point installed gpointing-device-settings.

I don't know if this is a bug of gpointing or gnome-settings-daemon.
