"Disable touchpad while typing" incompatible with "Touchpad off"

[Malaise]

Binary package hint: gpointing-device-settings

On Lucid (10.04), I set "Disable touchpad while typing" in System/Preferences/Mouse settings. It works (the touchpad is disabled while typing and during around 1 sec aftwards).
I install gpointing-device-settings 1.3.2-2 and I set "Touchpad off" in System/Preferences/Pointing devices. It works (the touchpad is disabled).
Now I type some text in a gnome-teminal. After 1 second without keyboard input the touchpad becomes active.

Workaround: Don't set "Disable touchpad while typing" and set "Touchpad off" => The touch pad is off.

GPointing Device Settings should set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad_enable to false when disabling touchpad
and not re-enable it unless specified by the user.

This package has been removed from the Ubuntu development release, so I am closing all remaining open bug reports.

Sorry that we couldn't fix your problem properly, but gpointing-device-settings is dead upstream, buggy and completely unmaintained.

Thank you for your understanding and please continue to report any bugs you may find.
