Bug Description
On Laptops with Touchpads, the touchpad often accidentally generates events when
the keyboard is used. Blocking the touchpad for a couple of ms after each keypress solves this problem.
This can be extremely easily implemented by calling syndaemon upon login and adding "SHMConfig on" to the X11 configuration. I think this is something that should be done by the installer in the default configuration as well.
