Public bug reported:

>From time to time the touchpad stops working, usually noticed by the cursor 'freezing'
This has affected a number of users.  
At least here & for some others disabling the option "Disable touchpad while typing" has apparently stopped this from happening, though due to the sporadic nature can't say for 100% sure. (tested here for 3 days, no occurrences

For 2 days now have been enabling the option thru syncdaemon instead & again have seen no occurrences though for me 2 days might not be a long enough test frame
Using this which differs slightly from that used in g-s-d ( no -R option, -k instead of -K
syndaemon -d -k -i 0.5s
