Comment 4 for bug 1283863

I've been struggling with this for a few months now, never could determine what causes, hence the start up command.
I'd think whatever resets it back to 'touchpad enabled' does not occur out of session which would then make most likely time somewhere between unity greeter & desktop loading.

So I'll start over & disable the startup command & make sure that if touchpad disabled is active on log outs/restarts & is disabled on log ins that it doesn't become enabled during the course of a session.
Also considering if this is just hardware specific, I have a new laptop coming soon, will also test there.

It does feel like this is related to the auto re-enabling of a touchpad if an external mouse is 'sensed' as being disconnected..
