I have the above mentioned problem with my Inspiron 1420 too. I read a lot of posts about the editing of xorg.conf file, but I gave up modifying it because I think this problem should be solved some day via a GUI interface. For now, I unchecked "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad" under System -> Preferences -> Mouse -> Touchpad.
