Bug Description
The feature "Disable touchpad while typing", which can be set in xfce4-mouse-
The problem is that we (users) are actually unable to set a shorter delay, thus unable to use it at all.
Current known workaround is to disable it (althought I WANT it enabled) and run a syndaemon:
> syndaemon -d -k -i 0.25s
which is a working trick I've found here [https:/
I am suggesting:
a) set default do 250ms (0.25 sec)
b) add an input field next to this checkbox where user might set his own preffered value

It is a little unhelpful that mouse movement is disabled as well as clicking. Waiting to move the mouse is a little bit bad.
These settings allow mouse movement, but suppress clicks, which is the most problematic part of hovering a hand over the touchpad:
syndaemon -i .5 -K -t -R -d
Ideally there should be a visual or audio cue that says that a mouse click (or movement) was dropped due to it being too early.
