I finally got time to debug on the computer in trouble and these are my findings;
It seems some application sets the gconf value to false and g-s-d picks this up and disables the touchpad as it should. Doing a switch to a console (ctrl + alt + f1) and back (ctrl + alt + f7) seems to trigger this - but just once after boot.

I think that the "offending" application is media keys manager in g-s-d in the do_touchpad_action (gsd-media-keys-manager.c ~650) but my debug time is up for now.
