+  <p>I repurposed this page. It used to just be how to disable your
+  touchpad entirely. Phil had some instructions on how to do this
+  in gconf-editor, as well as how to trigger an auto-disable when
+  you plugged in your mouse. GConf instructions are outdated for
+  GNOME 3. We could resurrect and make current the old stuff, but
+  as maybe a tip or advanced topics. Check git history.</p>
