GPointing Settings fails to set 'Disable while any other devices are connected'

[Jacob Gerlach]

1) Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
2) gpointing-device-settings: Installed: 1.5.1-6ubuntu0.1
3) I expected the touchpad to be disabled when my USB mouse is connected.
4) The touchpad was not disabled. When I close and re-open gpointing-device-settings, the checkbox for "Disable while any other device is connected is now unchecked."

Thanks for your work.

This package has been removed from the Ubuntu development release, so I am closing all remaining open bug reports.

Sorry that we couldn't fix your problem properly, but gpointing-device-settings is dead upstream, buggy and completely unmaintained.

Thank you for your understanding and please continue to report any bugs you may find.
