Title:
  Touchpad turns back on

Status in d-conf package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Release:        Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

  I am using a Thinpad laptop with a TrackPoint, which I find more convenient to use than the TouchPad.
  Turned the TouchPad off via the System Settings (mouse & touchpad), which works for a while.

  Expected behavior: TouchPad should stay off unless I turn it back on
  (eg. for another user)

  What happens: TouchPad turns back on randomly, often after suspend,
  sometimes just in the middle of a session. When checking the System
  Settings, the touchpad button is indeed back to "on" without any
  intervention from me.

  I am unsure which package is causing the bug, most probably a process
  is ignoring the settings I set and has in its routine to turn the
  TouchPad on. Maybe the bug should be filed agains gsettings?
