Here's the result of my test on gutsy tribe 6 :

1. Logging to user 1
2. Switching to user 2
    Result: Touchpad doesn't work
3. Going back to user 1 with Ctrl-Alt-F7
4. Running "sleep 20 && zenity --error"
5. Switching to user 2 with Ctrl-Alt-F9
    Result: Touchpad works!
6. Wait >20s
    Result: Touchpad works!

7. Switching back to user 1
    Result: Touchpad works and I have a error message.

Removing the step 4 ( sleep 20 && zenity --error ) doesn't change anything about the touchpad. But thanks a lot Andrew for that clue!!!

Seems that touchpad doesn't work when switching from user 1 to user 2, but will start working again on all users session after switching from user 2 to user 1 using CTRL + ALT + F7. Interesting!
