Quite, thank you.
The System Settings/Hardware/Input Devices/Touchpad page you show
says "Turn off touchpad while typing".
I want to use the pointer on my ThinkPad rather than the touchpad,
as I imagine do many people with pointing sticks on their keyboard.
on my netbook I have it implemented as a hotkey using xinput, you could
also add it to your startup tasks. Unfortunately don't have the code
handy here but should be easy to google together.
