There appears to be a slight problem, although I think the answer might be
obvious to those who know...
I can enter synclient touchpadoff=1 into a terminal session, and my mouse
does not respond. When I alt-tab to another application, it comes back. It
remains when I alt-tab back to the terminal window; I have to re-enter the
command again.
Is this a session scope thing? What must I do to suppress the mouse no
matter which application I use?
