+        This section needs fixing-up to provide useful advice. It's basically 
+        working around a feature request bug.

+    There is currently no simple way of having your touchpad automatically 
+    disabled when a mouse is plugged in.

+    <code>
+    gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/touchpad_enabled -t bool True
+    gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/touchpad_enabled -t bool False
+    ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", ACTION=="add", RUN+="synclient touchpadoff=1"
+    ENV{ID_CLASS}="mouse", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="synclient touchpadoff=0"
