I just upgraded my Lenovo Thinkpad T410 to 11.04 Natty and hit this
issue. The solution that worked for me seems a bit simpler than some of
the ones offered earlier so hopefully this will help someone.

Hit Alt-F2
Type gconf-editor and hit return
Browse to desktop/gnome/peripherals key
Look for your touchpad - mine looked like "SybPS@47@2..."
Uncheck the "disable while other device exists" option

Bingo!

Presumably the problem was that Thinkpads have two built-in pointing
devices. While the solution turned out to be simple, it took me a good
hour to figure it out and the earlier comments in this thread helped me
to start looking in the right place. Thanks.
