Seems logical to keep the 0.5s decrease patch as a workaround until the
proper underlying patches are identified.
I suppose they'll eventually bubble up in future releases of things, so
you could leave the workaround in place for oneiric with plan to test
reverting it in oneiric+1 to see if it's
Oliver, we're not removing that setting. I uploaded a g-s-d patch to
decrease the delay for syndaemon, from 2 seconds, the default one, to
0.5s. But I was told that would break it for other users, and that there
were some patches in the xorg and kernel mailing lists (sorry Bryce,
don't have those
@Rodrigo: palm detection will never be 100% reliable with every touchpad

The X stack is working as expected; gnome-settings-daemon is disabling
the touchpad while typing, and then re-enabling it after a couple of
seconds inactivity.
Moving to gnome-control-center where this behaviour is controlled. We
might want to change the default if this is sufficiently
Thanks for your report.
Confirmed in Oneiric. The workaround is to disable 'Disable Touchpad
while typing' in the touchpad preferences (run 'gnome-control-center
mouse', and select tab 'Touchpad' )

Forgot to add some extra info yesterday that this happens both in Unity
