Public bug reported:

Unable to find a way to permenately turn off synaptics touchpad I've
learned to open a terminal upon logon and issue the command

xinput set-prop 00 "Device Enabled" 0

When the computer drops into sleep mode, and upon returning the settings
are lost and must be re-entered upon every logon.

The prefered way for me would to be turn off the touchpad entirely
before any ttys are available and/or logon prompt.  Unfortunately it
does not appear Ubuntu honors the common startup directories or init
scripts any longer and the documentation I've read does not appeart to
provide an answer.
