When I first put Dapper on my laptop the mouse pad
became far too sensitive to light brushing of my
thumbs... So I set my touchpad clicking to be disabled
for 2 seconds after I type on the keyboard... so I can
still brush the touch pad... Yet, when I do brush the
pad, it can't change the placement of my cursor while
typing.

Is a link to simple directions on how to fiddle with
the touch pad.
