Comment 123 for bug 868400

I did a clean install of 12.04, followed by a deja-dup restore of a backup of my home directory. I then enabled "disable touchpad while typing." Then I began having these symptoms.

Previously, (when I was on 11.10 , from which the backup was made) I had created a custom syndaemon launcher startup because the normal "disable touchpad while typing" didn't work very well (cursor would still jump sometimes when I brushed the touchpad while typing).

I didn't realize this would persist in "startup applications preferences" after the clean install followed by restore. Apparently it did, and so I got this error - two syndaemons running. Just posting on the off chance others make the same mistake.
