Confirmed still a problem on Lucid. I suspect the culprit was an updated "laptop-detect" package, but I have no evidence to back that up.

Doing this did solve the problem:

gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t boolean true

I used gconf-editor to make the change graphically.
