Yes I do agree, this is not a module related issue... That works, but it's just an huge workaround.

The only way I can make my touchpad and my touchpad-button to work is to invert the "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled" gconf option; after that the touchpad works following the hardware button status.

I guess that this all due to the fact that the above setting is inverted at the beginning of a session (so, using the hardware button you enable the touchpad, but you disable gnome to grab its values and vice-versa).
