Bug Description

Same behavior as #951332

Touchpad-indicator 1.0.0-0extras13.10.1-src
Ubuntu 13.10

Preference "Disable touchpad when mouse plugged" and "autostart" is checked.
When mouse is plugged-in the touchpad is disabled.
But when the mouse is unplugged the touchpad stays disabled and "Enable Touchpad" is greyed out.

Touchpad should be re-enabled when mouse is unplugged.

Don't know if this project is still maintained but I'm having the exact same issue. Touchpad is not enabled back when the mouse is unplugged. I was placing so much hope into this project :(

For me, it re-enabled the trackpad but doesn't updated the status tray icon. I will look into fixing this bug in my branch this evening.

Just like solarisfire my status tray icon is not updating to "Touchpad Enabled" state.

I've the same problem with ubuntu 14.04 as solarisfire and Chris.
When I unplug my mouse the touchpad indicator still keeps on showing that touchpad is disabled, while in reality the touchpad has been enabled and works just fine.
Also when I unplug my mouse I don't see the message that is supposed to popup when the touchpad is re-enabled.
When I plug in my mouse the popup message is shown as it should be (saying my touchpad is being disabled).
