Finally!!If you are like me, and can't help but involuntarily touch the touchpad while typing on the keyboard, here is the solution (thanks to ubuntugeek.com):
- Open a terminal and type: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_synbackup
- Type gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Look for the section called: Section “InputDevice” / Identifier “Synaptics Touchpad”
- Just above the line that says "End Section" type this line: Option “SHMConfig” “on”
- Save, close all the windows and restart Gnome (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)
- Open the sessions manager: System -> Preferences -> Sessions
- In the Startup Programs tab click the "New" button
- Type "Syndaemon" in the name field and "syndaemon -i 1 -d" in the command field
- Close and restart Gnome (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)
- Voila!

To all newbies like myself. Do not copy the code directly into Xorg. The " signs will be corrupted. Instead simply type it in
Yep, that's a problem of almost every blog. There is no [code] tag to prevent this.
