Title:
  Thinkpad T440s trackpad "disable while typing" doesn't work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I run Ubuntu 15.04 on a newish Lenovo Thinkpad T440s. It has the new
  large, solid trackpad that is clickable anywhere, with no defined
  buttons. It is easily bumped while typing, creating an almost unusable
  experience. There is an option in the Ubuntu Unity system
  mouse/trackpad settings to "Disable while typing", which would solve
  the problem. However, this does not work. I confirm that there is
  absolutely no delay between typing and trackpad activation; in fact I
  can even move the trackpad while holding a key down.

  A reported workaround is to run:
  syndaemon -i 0.8 -d
  But this should not be necessary to make users run hacks like this, as it makes Ubuntu look unprofessional. The Ubuntu system settings option should do what is claims.

  Thanks for looking into this.
