Comment 20 for bug 1687191

FYI: while trying to get the "disable keyboard while typing" back online (is set to true in gconf and I'm testing gnome now before 18.04) the touchpad got disabled for some reason. I only changed one setting in gconf which should not disable the touchpad on login. Had to reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and -libinput as well as running:

gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true

However, still no luck with the disable keyboard while typing. Otherwise everything works as stated before. Perhaps you have the same gconf mixup @Fredrik
