[xubuntu-users] Touchpad timeout

[Mike Simms]

On my laptop, the touchpad is 'flush' with the body of the computer - 
it's not recessed liek older laptops used to be. This means that as I 
type I often touch it accidentally with say the wrist and the focus 
jumps to where the cursor is, a few words get typed into the wrong place 
on the screen!

I know about the "disable touchpad while typing", I have set to 0.5 
seconds, but it still keeps happening. Is there anywhere a smarter 
method if controlling the touchpad behaviour?
