Disable/Enable Touch Pad Setting?

[wrender]

There used to be a system settings to toggle the touchpad of a laptop on/off. I cant seem to find that setting in 11.04.

I see Touchpad configuration settings... but there is no toggle to disable the touch pad.

That's in Kmenu --> Applications --> Utilities --> Touchpad Management

AHA! That is not part of the system settings! I never would have looked there!

Thank you for pointing that out. Though there is no toggle to disable the touchpad directly there are options present which help with many scenarios such as the typing and inserting mouse. Hopefully in future versions this will be incorporated into system settings and include a disable button.
