Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Description:	Ubuntu 9.10
Release:	9.10

gnome-control-center:
  Installed: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0

This is a wishlist item, or maybe a "I wish it worked like x".

When using "disable touchpad while typing," gnome disables the WHOLE
touchpad while typing ANYTHING, including a Ctrl or Alt key.  This makes
it very difficult to do Ctrl clicks.

Some may disagree, but it seems like it would be preferable to me to either
A) allow "button" clicks while typing but not the (possibly accidental) "tap to clicks"
B) don't disable clicks when function keys are pressed
Maybe an option for one or both of these is in order.
