Description
I just remembered once I clicked it and I didn't happen to have a mouse around - although you could use your keys to re-enable it, my mom would have a cow if she did this.
Oh, and she uses Ubuntu quite awesomely actually :D
Maybe this is a Gnome thing, but it should ask if I really want to do this, or disable it's ability to disable unless a mouse is plugged, and once a mouse is unplugged re enable (another idea).

I'm not sure how you do this (too new)
but perhaps have an 'auto re-enable' after someone has pounded on (err - moved their finger on / clicked on) for 1-2 seconds (configurable)

it needs a function key associated with turing the touch pad off/on... I am ready to throw this box out the window at times.
