Title:
  "Disable Touchpad While Typing" should be available at GDM level

Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager:
  Won't Fix
Status in Mactel Support:
  New
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  The "Disable Touchpad While Typing" option works really well for me
  during Gnome sessions, however, it would be nice if this setting would
  be available at GDM login time. Currently, whenever I try to type my
  password in GDM the overly sensitive MacBook Pro touchpad reacts to my
  hovering thumbs and thus steals the focus from the password prompt. As
  you can imagine, this is getting old really quick. :)
