I'm also affected by this seemingly small, but extremely annoying bug
and it took me a couple of days before finding this report.

My MacBook 5,1 and Asus Eee PC are both affected by it and it already
made me upgrade to Oneiric in the hope it was fixed and then back to OS
X before giving it a new try. I'm wondering why nothing is mentioned on
the Macbook pages (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1/Natty).

Adding the earlier mentioned undocumented -m option to syndaemon (-m 20)
makes the situation a lot better (although I'm not sure how this affects
battery power) together with the new sensitivity slider in Oneiric it
might get pleasant to use my Macbook touchpad in Ubuntu once Oneiric
final is out ;-)

On a side note, it might increase the likelyhood someone finds this bug
by changing the subject to contain what is in the english gui, on Natty
this is "Disable touchpad while typing".

ps. does someone know how to add this -m option to syndaemon on every
login? I grepped on syndaemon but didn't find anything in /etc or ~,
also nothing in "Startup Applications Preferences".
