I can confirm this bug.

I am running Kubuntu 9.10 AMD64 on an HP dv8000 AMD processor. The package works fine on Kubuntu 9.10 i386 on a HP dv5000 Intel processor.

The package will load into the system tray and function properly using kdesudo/sudo. Of course if you log out and log back in you will receive kdesudo errors as the system tray loads.

I can also confirm this bug.

Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 on Sony Vaio VGN-Z41 Intel processor. The package works fine on Ubuntu 9.04, same notebook

Using it with sudo works also for me.

I have a Dell Studio 15 installed with Kubuntu 64bit. In 9.04 touchfreeze never crashed, after upgrading to 9.10 it crashes everytime I start it. When starting it in a console I see that's a segmentation fault.
As I was using it basically to turn the touchpad off I now type "synclient TouchpadOff=1" in a console...

Fixed in Kubuntu 10.04.
