Bug description:
  On Laptops with Touchpads, the touchpad often accidentally generates events when
  the keyboard is used. Blocking the touchpad for a couple of ms after each keypress solves this problem.

  This can be extremely easily implemented by calling syndaemon upon
  login and adding "SHMConfig on" to the X11 configuration. I think this
  is something that should be done by the installer in the default
  configuration as well.
