Code:

## Enable/disable the touchpad
#  I have reisntalled slack 14 and now it starts with the touchpad enabled.
#  Hence:
alias 1='xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0'
alias 2='xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 1'
alias g1='/usr/sbin/gpm -k'
alias g2='/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2'

And all was fine. But lo and behold: under KDE these comands have no effect. What shall I do? I think I'm better off with Xfce.

In KDE "system settings" you can associate a key combination as a toggle to disable/enable the touchpad.
