Public bug reported:

The touchpad on my Dell XPS 1530 keeps breaking.  This happens on a
random basis at least two times a day.  By "breaking", I mean that the
touchpad suddenly stops working; I am unable to move the mouse cursor
with the touchpad.  However, if I plug in an external USB mouse, the
cursor can be moved and used as normal.  If I then unplug the mouse, the
touchpad is still broken.  I can get the touchpad working again by
logging out and then logging back in.
