Been looking into this further and found that it only affected affected
one account on the computer - the other accounts worked as expected.
Eventually found that the impacted account had a syndaemon command
running at Startup to disable the touchpad whilst typing, as this
function didn't work in System Settings. However, the setting to Disable
touchpad whilst typing was still set in System Settings. Turning off
this setting seems to have cured the problem. Obviously the original bug
that causes the "Disable touchpad whilst typing" system setting not to
work still needs to be addressed.

Title:
  Touchpad settings ignored

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10. Have "two-finger scroll" and "tap to click" selected in system settings. When I log in these functions work but seems that as soon as an application is started, including the Dash, "two-finger scroll" and "tap to click" stop working. Logging out and back in again restores the functionality but then it is lost as soon as an application starts again.
  I found this was an intermittent problem under 14.04 but only when resuming from sleep. Now the function basically does not work at all.
