Bug Description
Two peripheral to control a single pointer is confusing. But this is what happens when, on a notebook, you plug a mouse. In this case, the touchpad should be disabled because, if I connect a mouse, is obvious that I want to use it and only it. A notification and a tray icon should appear to inform the user.
The touchpad should be re-enabled with the mouse disconnection or by clicking to the icon.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.
- Though this is a bug.This is not a common user scenario , where the user has to plugin an external mouse. Hence not a papercut.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https:/
Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.
This bug does not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers.
Kindly re-assign the bug to the package . You can learn more about finding the right package at https:/
When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https:/
