I seem to be affected by the same bug. Seemingly randomly, my touchpad
on a Lenovo W520 stops working. The red nub keeps working, however.
Restarting sometimes fixes it, but sometimes it doesn't. I can use fn+f7
to turn off my red nub, but it has no effect on my touchpad. I haven't
tried any fixes mentioned above, or in this (http://bit.ly/qx2da3)
thread, because it is working right now. The only fix I've tried is:

gconftool-2 --set --type boolean
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true

That was not effective, nothing changed. I have disabled the function
that disables the touchpad while typing, to see if that helps. Next time
it breaks, I will start trying fixes, and report back.
