Cannot disable mouse-pad

[Soren Hauberg]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

If I click on 'System' --> 'Settings' --> 'Mouse' (translations from Danish, so things might be named slightly different) in the panel, I can change various settings wrt. my mouse. In previous versions of Ubuntu I could entirely disable my mouse-pad, but since Ubuntu 9.10 this setting is gone.

I am a heavy track-point user (I will not buy a laptop that doesn't have a track-point), because I simply cannot figure out how to use a mouse-pad. Therefore, I have really enjoyed being able to disable the mouse-pad, so it would be really nice if this setting could be restored.
