[Bug 494292] Re: 'Disable Trackpad while typing...' option ignored on Macbook Pro 5, 2

[JohnnyJboss]

I have the MacBook4,1 with Ubuntu 9.10 (actually MythBuntu) and the
sporadic jumping of the mouse while I'm typing is a severe problem.

Often I'm near the end of a lengthy email or well written bug report and
suddenly my mouse has jumped, highlighted and deleted all my text
because I was still typing.

I found a script at http://miteshjlinuxtips.wordpress.com/2009/09/10
/disabling-macbook-pro-touchpad/ which I will start using to disable the
trackpad when I'm typing.

Also it seems the option to disable clicks on the trackpad will
sometimes be re-enabled even though the selection is not checked when I
open gnome-mouse-properties. This exhibits itself as I am able to launch
icons on my desktop with a double-tap even though I've de-selected that
option in the gnome-mouse-properties. The expected behavior would be
that this option does what it says: it should disable the ability to
double-tap to click on the trackpad.
