Works with HP Pavilion dv6700.  Reposting relevant excerpt of  #103 of
Bug Report #549727 for everyone's convenience...

You need to prevent gnome-settings-daemon from disabling your touchpad
in the first place, because the Synaptics touchpad driver does this
already. To do so, run the following command in a terminal:

Code:

gconftool-2 --type string --set
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad ""

This dissociates the key to lock your touchpad from gnome-settings-
daemon. If for any reason, the latter command breaks the lock touchpad
support for you, than you probably have a different issue. To re-
associate the key with gnome-settings-daemon, run this command:

gconftool-2 --type string --set
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad XF86TouchpadToggle
