I have this problem too in karmic. I found a way to work around it. I installed gsynaptics to disable the touchpad (because my other problem is that the function key no longer works.) Then in System/Preferences/Mouse/Touchpad, I unselect "Disable touchpad while typing." Now the touchpad does not re-enable when I type.
