Bug Description

The issue here is that when I activate the "Disable touchpad when mouse is connected", the app always disable the touchpad, even when my bluetooth mouse is disconnected.

I'm unsure whether the app is simply misbehaving and always disabling the touchpad when the "disable on external mouse" setting is on, or if it's considering my laptop's touchscreen as an mouse.

Here's my "xinput list"
gtmoraes@GT-Y50:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Atmel Atmel maXTouch Digitizer id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ MX Anywhere 2 id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]

Anything else, just ask
