Bug Description

On Ubuntu 8.10,
with 1:2.24.0.1-0ubuntu7,
about gnome-mouse-properties,
in the configuration gui of the mousepad,
it would be nice to have a checked box option to enable/disable the disabling
of the mousepadd when an usb mouse is connected.
Wether this option is checked or not, on the very first time a user connects a
usb mouse, a popup window may be opened to ask the user if he wants to do that
automatic disabling each time.

Best regards,
Nicolas Michel

A simple way to achieve that would be to replace the current checkbox (enable touchpad → true / false) with a combobox (enable touchpad → always / never / when no USB mouse is present).
