Bug Description

Touchpad indicator is a lifesaver. However, there are several problems with that. Each time I unplug my mouse it doesn't reenable the touchpad. Also each time I shut the lid down on my laptop it disables the touchpad even if the touchpad was enabled before. I have hit the shortcut keys to first disable and then hit it again to reenable. And then to get the effect of disabling the touchpad while typing. I have to go to preferences and click 'OK', exit the touchpad-indicator and restart it again. Anyway to fix this problem. What would be the command to restart the touchpad-indicator?

Touchpad version: 1.1.0
