kde-config-touchpad not starting

[Fintan]

I have Kubuntu 12.10 and kde 4.10 installed on a friends vario laptop.

All I want to do is disable while typing. This should be easy.

kde-config-touchpad vers 0.8.1-1ubuntu2 just won't start.
It is in the systray but right or left clicking show now action.

Running in konsole shows:
fintan@fintanws2:~$ synaptiks
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
fintan@fintanws2:~$

Any help greatly appreciated

You need to downsload the synaptics touchpad program. From there you can do that.

This is the version installed:
kde-config-touchpad vers 0.8.1-1ubuntu2

Did you get this to work? I'm using 13.04 so that could be my problem...but I've changed settings in the synaptiks touchpad management but they don't take affect?
