I think Sven is right in his assumption that the touchpad freeze is caused by two syndaemon instances getting out of sync.
On my system I find consistent correlation between touchpad freezing and two syndaemon instances running.
What puzzles me is why I don't always have two syndaemon instances running. I have found that if I cold boot and log in as "UserA" or "UserB" I most of the time have only one syndaemon instance and have no problem. If I log out from UserA and then log in as UserB I still (most of the time) have only one syndaemon instance. If I then log out UserB and log in as UserA again, I always have two syndaemon instances and I consistently get a touchpad freeze if my first keyboard activity in the new session is ctrl-alt-T followed by arrow up.
