I guess there are hardly situations where you'd want to use the internal touchpad when you connect a mouse, but maybe that's just me :)

I know that could be written some scripts in order to make this kind of 
control, but I think that, will be a good way in order to help new 
people to start using linux.
Many times, my father says to me that It's very fast linux and stable 
but he isn't able to install program or do such thing that require some 
knowledge of the bash or something else.
So, in my opinion, my request's aim was to introduce another element in 
order to make xubuntu more user friendly and in order to grant also to 
common people to use.
Is that a bad idea?
