Hi Sebastien, I believe my comment #13 has been incorrectly interpreted. I wrote it in response to someone "assigning" this bug to gnome-bugs #673055 (I received a notification of the change). I wanted to make sure we don't end up interpreting the upstream bug as a fix for this one and hence wait on it (instead, pointed to the debian patch to be taken care).
I have been using this work around for sometime now and it really has reduced my stress level since :). For now while waiting for the official fix to land, I just did following to do away with manual launch. 1. renamed syndaemon to syndaemon-bin and 2. created a sh script "syndaemon" with following content " #!/bin/sh syndaemon-bin -i 2 -t -K -R " Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/962958 Title: Touchpad in laptops gets clicked all the time randomly when typing Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: New Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The touchpad is supposed to be disabled when typing text, but isn't and texts get randomly selected, deleted, cursor moved, inserted elsewhere etc. due to spurious clicks the "proximity" of the hand causes on touchpad. I do have "disable touchpad while typing" set to true in mouse settings ->touchpad. (btw, I am curious why this setting even present given I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to switch it off, even when gaming - I think I will file a separate bug). This happens so often, like every few secs when typing, that it's super annoying to the point of not being able to use the laptop. The only way out is to disable "Enable mouse click with touchpad" setting. Then, it's very hard to use touchpad on macbookpro because of the amount of physical clicks involved in middle of the touchpad making select-and-drag kind of operations almost impossible. Either way, it's unusable, so I recomment higher severity for this bug. I am running 12.04, updated like yesterday, but I have seen this happen before in 12.04. So, I don't think this is due to last release. The macbook pro I have is, I think version 8,2. Please let me know if more info is needed from me. Thanks.
