I have experienced similar problems on Ubuntu since 9.04 (now on 10.10)
on several different machines, even after clean installs and subsequent
updates+upgrades. The problem is certainly around the interaction of
Firefox online/offline handling, Network Manager, and Gnome session
handling of power,
I also believe that improved control of touchpads in laptops/netbooks etc is
necessary.
But NOT disabling the trackpad/touchpad completely! Here are a few reflections
and suggestions:
1) In my opinion the most logigical move is "automatic disabling the
touchpad while typing" with a user-defined
I agree that the delay length should be configurable by the user.
In the meanwhile, before the problem is solved, it is good to note that the
present value of half a second delay is too short. A better alternative is a
delay length closer to the default from syndaemon (2 seconds).
