[Bug 1265567] [NEW] Touchpad KCM module should enable/disable touchpad

[Glen Ditchfield]

Public bug reported:

It would be helpful if the Touchpad control module in package kde-
config-touchpad had an "enable/disable touchpad" checkbox.

For instance, running Kubuntu 12.04.3 on an HP EliteBook 8440p, when I
press the "toggle ambient light sensor" key Fn-F11, the touchpad and all
touchpad buttons are  disabled. Pressing the key again does not re-
enable them. Meanwhile, pressing the actual "toggle touchpad" button
does nothing. The only way to repair the damage is to edit
~/.kde/share/config/ktouchpadenablerrc, log out, and log back in.

A Kubuntu user might open System Settings and search it for "touchpad",
but the Input Devices > Touchpad configuration module doesn't provide a
way to toggle the touchpad.

Ubuntu release: 12.04.3 LTS
kde-config-touchpad version: 0.8.1-1ubuntu1.1
