[kde-linux] Programming a key to disable touchpad

[Anne Wilson]

I need to work with an ancient laptop, and I'm having great difficulties 
because when I am typing I frequently find that the input is appearing in the 
middle of text somewhere else on the page.  The heel of my hand must be 
brushing the touchpad.  Unlike my newer one, this laptop doesn't have any Fn 
key programmed to disable it.  I'm sure it must be possible to do that, but 
how can do it, and what command would the key need to be given?  I would have 
though that kcontrol's Keyboard Shortcuts might be the way to do it, but it's 
not obvious whether it could or not.
