John,

You may have to put it in the .xinitrc file so that the environment
knows. I am command line oriented (.fvwm2) and it works great there.
Most windows come up in less than a second without a desktop.

You have been unable to locate above key, if you are in Karmic, aren't
you?
Sorry for misleading you, as this key no longer exist in Karmic and I
should check it first.
If putting synclient TouchPadOff=1 in in the .xinitrc file, as suggested
by don fisher,
(by the way Don, I'm sorry that I presumed you are using Gnome,..eh, I
have to regret a lot of things these days)
did not work for you, you can try some suggestion from
"Touch Pad refuses to disable" thread. (subject is more appropriate, I
think).

Regards
