This is a problem , but I don't believe its because of the kernel module.
I was playing around last time this happened and noticed that 

synclient  |grep TouchpadOff   
gives me 
TouchpadOff             = 1

enabling the touchpad manually made my mouse start working again.

in the mouse properties applet there is a checkbox "disable touchpad while 
typing"
i believe that it sets the touchpadoff = 1 
when one is typing, and enabled the touchpad once one stops typing.
Enabling it again apparently fails sometimes.  I've unchecked the box. 
And I no longer get this problem, could someone else verify this as well?

We need to move this bug to the correct package. Question is , which is
it?
