And after doing that favor to humanity, please let me know which window
manager is so defaulted, so I can switch to a different one.

Those of us who are touch typists and need to actually pound out lots
of content don't want accidental wrist/mousepad contact interferring
with our thought/authoring process.

Here's a shellscript, called touchtoggle, that I hooked to
hotkey Ctrl+Shift+j, that turns the mousepad alternately on or off
every time the hotkey is pressed.

=============================================
#!/bin/sh

curstate=`synclient | grep -i TouchpadOff | sed -e"s/.*= //"`
if test "$curstate" = "1"; then
    synclient TouchpadOff=0
else
    synclient TouchpadOff=1
fi
