Turning off touchpad tapping?

[Chuck Mattsen]

New to Kubuntu, and about to tear my hair out (and I have too little to be 
able to afford tearing out any) because of unwanted "tap events" occurring 
while typing.  I've tried turning it off under System Settings | Touch Pad, 
but those settings seem to have no effect whatsoever.

What am I missing here?  Anyone?  TIA.
